2 BASE WORK TO BE PERFORMED BY CONTRACTOR

2.1 SUPPLY FIBER OPTIC CABLE FOR LOCK AND DAM 24 AND 25

2.1.1 The Contractor shall supply fiber optic cable for each

facility in the quantities shown on the bid schedule.

2.1.2 Optical Fibers

2.1.2.1 General. Coat optical fibers with a suitable material to preserve the intrinsic strength of the glass. The mailto:Carl.D.Portwood@usace.army.mil mailto:Steven.D.Lovell@usace.army.mil outside diameter of the glass-cladded fiber is nominally 125 microns, and concentric with the fiber core. Ensure optical fibers meet TIA-455-78-B, and

TIA-455-177.

2.1.2.2 62.5 Micron Multimode Fibers. Use conductors that are multimode, graded index, solid glass waveguides with a nominal core diameter of 62.5 microns. Ensure the fiber has transmission windows centered at 850 and

1300 nanometer wavelengths, with a numerical aperture minimum of 0.275. The attenuation at 850 nanometers is 3.5 dB/Km or less. The attenuation at 1300 nanometers is 1.5 dB/Km or less. The minimum bandwidth is 160 MHz-Km at 850 nanometers and 500

MHz-Km at 1300 nanometers. Certify FO cable to meet

TIA/EIA-455-204 and TIA-455-58.

2.1.3 Cable Construction

2.1.3.1 General. The number of fibers in each cable is twelve

(12). Protect each fiber by a protective tube. Ensure cables have a jacketed strength member, and an exterior jacket. Ensure cable and fiber protective covering are free from holes, splits, blisters, and other imperfections. Insulation and jacketing material for interior cables cannot contain any polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds. Use a covering that is flame retardant, moisture resistant, non-nutrient to fungus, ultraviolet light resistant as specified, and nontoxic. Do not transmit mechanical stress present in cable to the optical fibers. Ensure strength members are non-metallic and an integral part of the cable construction. Ensure the combined strength of all the strength members is sufficient to support the stress of installation and to protect the cable in service. For exterior cables, select a minimum storage temperature range of minus 40 to plus

75 degrees C minus 104 to plus 167 degrees F. A minimum storage temperature of minus 10 to plus 75 degrees C plus 14 to plus 167 degrees F is required for interior cables. Ensure all optical fiber cables and all optical fiber raceways furnished meet the requirement of NFPA 70. Apply a flooding compound into the interior of the fiber tubes, into the interstitial spaces between the tubes, to the core covering, and between the core covering and jacket of all cable to be installed aerially, underground, and in locations susceptible to moisture. Ensure flooded cables comply with TIA/EIA-455-81 and TIA-455-82.

Provide cables from the same manufacturer, of the same cable type, of the same size, and of the same optical characteristics. Ensure each fiber and protective coverings is continuous with no factory splices. Certify by the manufacturer, optic cable assemblies, including jacketing and fibers, to have a minimum life of 30 years. Ensure cables meet UL 1666.

Certify FO cable to meet the following: TIA-455-13, TIA/EIA-455-25, TIA/EIA-455-41, TIA-455-177, TIA-455-

78-B, TIA/EIA-455-88, TIA-455-91, TIA-455-104, and

TIA/EIA-455-171.

2.1.3.2 Exterior Cable. Surround the optical fibers by a tube buffer, contained in a channel or otherwise loosely packaged to provide clearance between the fibers and inside of the container, and extruded from a material having a coefficient of friction sufficiently low to allow the fiber free movement. Select cable with the following characteristics:

a. Cable outer jacket: Medium density polyethylene material with orange pigment added for ease of identification.

b. Tensile strength: Withstand an installation tensile load of not less than 608 pounds and not less than 135 pounds continuous tensile load.

c. Impact and Crush resistance: Withstand an impact of 1.7 lbs/in as a minimum, and have a crush resistance of 317 psi as a minimum.
