About this file

The document is a set of technical annexes for a U.S. Army Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contract with the Royal Jordanian Air Force to upgrade their Fiber Optic Wide Area Network (FOWAN) transmission nodes. The annexes provide detailed technical specifications for a comprehensive network infrastructure upgrade, including fiber optic testing results, equipment interfaces, transmission node upgrades, and supported technical standards. The annexes cover multiple sites (numbered 1-25) and include extensive technical documentation such as fiber loss measurements, optical interface details, network topology, and a comprehensive list of International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and IEEE standards to be supported on the new network platform.

The technical annexes outline rigorous requirements for the network upgrade, including specifications for fiber cable types (primarily ITU-T G.652 and G.652A), optical interfaces, network protection mechanisms, and performance metrics. Key technical aspects include support for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), ethernet services, MPLS transport profiles, and comprehensive documentation of network characteristics such as distance, loss margins, and optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) test results. The documents are marked as Controlled Unilateral Information (CUI) and are specifically prepared for the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) Security Assistance Management Directorate, with a version date of 10 March 2025.

The OTDR test is in one direction, therefore it seems there is a problem (high losses) in termination or the couplers at (Site 15) ODF and we appreciate any suggestion from the expert companies in this issue.

NOTES:

1. RJAF had considered the losses in (dB) for each link based on the laser source and power meter test as a reference for the following reasons:

a. The laser source/power meter test had taken into account the attenuation (losses) for the complete link of the fiber including the two-end coupling and patch cords…etc.

b. The OTDR test was considered as a guidance for the current situation for these fiber links and to provide any useful information about these links such as distance, reflective and non-reflective events and the total losses from one end (one- direction test) etc. The OTDR testing results are shown in Annex B.

2. RJAF had compared the results of the (laser/power) test devices with the (laser/power) reading on the current working Ericsson node because these tests were built on the active fiber cores that are used by these nodes

3. RJAF had taken into considerations a margin of loss in the fiber links between (5-7) dB based on the following reasons:

a. The number of Historical and previous fiber cuts that is registered for each fiber link.

b. The distance of each fiber link.

c. The deviation and uncertainty in the test of these fiber links based on the test equipment and the technician’s skills.

d. The expected fiber cuts in future due to the infrastructure projects inside Jordan.

e. The fiber class or type.

4. Finally, one of the fiber cores for (SITE 16- SITE 15) link had big difference between the OTDR test reading (guidance) and the laser/power meter test reading, we assume that the problem is in the termination or the coupling for (SITE 15).

1. RJAF had used for the first time a new brand EXFO FTB-2 Platform OTDR with FTBx-750C-SM1-EA module that had SC/APC interface. The test included a three meter (3m) (APC/UPC) jumper cable patch cord and a new five hundred meter (500m) launch cable with (SC/UPC-FC/UPC) since RJAF had used FC/UPC interface for the ODF.

2. The average or maximum splice loss is not mentioned in the table.

3. RJAF recommends to incorporate a (5-7) dB margin for each link based on the laser and power test outlined in Annex A taking into account the past registration of the fiber cuts and to consider any fiber cuts and splicing in the future in addition to any tolerance or deviation in the fiber test.

4. The highlighted ‘red’ reading shows the bad reading for the very old fiber cables (ITU-T G.652A) installed from the 90’s. The ‘yellow’ highlighted shows the reading (attenuation) above (0.3dB/km) for both ITU-T G.652A and G.652D fiber cable. The highlighted ‘green’ reading shows the attenuation below (0.3dB/km) for both ITU-T G.652A and G.652D fiber cables.

5. The ITU-T G.652A fiber cables had been installed from the 90’s except the sites (17-6) link which had been installed in (2006-2007).

NOTES

1. All site 19 and site 13 clients are distributed using two nodes (platforms) or one suitable platform. In case of using two adjacent platforms at each site (19, 13), RJAF suggests to have an optical (400G) grey connectivity between these adjacent platforms that can be expanded in future to (800G).

2. The STM-64/10GE interfaces shall be allocated for now (reserved) and can be used in future as 10GE client or as an optical line for (Daughter equipment) based on the available bandwidth in each optical line and the installing of new wavelengths in future carrying (100G) or even more, no XFP is required for now.

3. The optical SFPs for STM-16 at each site as shown below in details.

4. The optical SFPs for STM-4 at each site as shown below in details.

5. The optical SFPs for STM-1 at each site as shown below in details.

6. The optical interfaces for 10GE and 1GE are short haul up to (15 KM)

7. Most of the 10GE physical interfaces are not fully bandwidth utilized for the current RJAF scenario as shown in tables (2.5.3) and (2.5.4) below, but they shall be fully or better utilized in future after adding new wavelengths each carrying at least (100G) as shown in (Annex D, figures (2,3)) or even more and after the immigration from (SDH) domain to packet domain.

8. Few of the 1GE physical interfaces will be fully bandwidth or capacity utilized regarding the current RJAF scenario (traffic) shown in table (C1.1/C1.2). RJAF will use and utilize these interfaces based on the available or remaining bandwidth after carrying the SDH traffic on these new platforms that considered the first priority (carrying the current RJAF SDH network), but they shall be better utilized in future after adding new wavelengths each carrying at least (100G) as shown in Annex D or more such as (200G) and after the immigration from (SDH) domain to packet domain. The number of these physical interfaces just represents the number of the physical clients currently exist in addition to the physical interfaces that might be added at each main site.

9. RJAF requests in future the availability to transfer these requested client’s interfaces mentioned above to (daughter equipment) connected with the main platform using (1/10/100) GE optical line so we can segregate the client interfaces and the optical lines in the main platform to have better utilization of the main platform in term of the expansion on the optical network (new added main sites).

1. These interfaces represent the existing links for RJAF SDH Ericsson nodes that will be treated as clients for the new platforms (nodes) so RJAF Ericsson nodes can see each other and- operate normally through these new platforms to ease the future immigrations From SDH toward Packet technology.

2. These represent future client that need to be reserved in future to be connected with other RJAF SDH core sites (Directions/degree) through the new platforms with ROADM.

coax) output interfaces or at points between an output and an input interface, e.g. at distribution frames.

However, troubleshooting and fault-isolation is not sacrificed since a rich suite of PM statistics is available on the specific port card interfaces that monitor in the receive direction:

• SONET path (P)/SDH path (P) entities - STS-1, STS-3c/VC4, STS-12c/VC4-4c, STS-24c/VC4-8c, STS-48c/VC4-16c, STS- 192c/VC4-64c, HO VC3, and LO VC3 payloads
