These tests shall be completed and all errors corrected before any other tests are performed.

Testing shall be performed in accordance with RUS Bulletin 345-63, (PC-

4) for Shield Continuity, Conductor Insulation Resistance, and DC Loop Resistance measurements and TIA/EIA-568-B for attenuation, capacitance, and near-end crosstalk. All defective pairs, except those identified as defective by the manufacturer, in accordance with the applicable cable specifications, shall be made good by the Contractor.

Fiber Optic Cables: Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Test and Attenuation Test. Attenuation tests shall be completed in both directions using an 850 nanometer light source at one end and the optical power meter on the other end. OTDR tests shall be measured in both directions.

An OTDR test shall be performed on all fibers of the fiber optic cable after it is installed. The OTDR shall be calibrated to show anomalies of

0.2 decibels as a minimum. If the OTDR test results show anomalies greater than one decibel, the fiber optic cable segment is unacceptable to the Government. The unsatisfactory segments of cable shall be replaced with a new segment of cable. The new segment of cable shall then be tested to demonstrate acceptability. Photographs of the traces shall be furnished to the Government for each link.

Written test results and as-built drawings shall be provided to the Base Communications Squadron within 14 days after completion of tests on a Compact Disc; in Adobe Acrobat format (.pdf). This applies to all fiber optic cable and copper wire installations.
