Optical Fiber Cable Works

Fiber Termination All fibers of Optical Fiber Cables will be terminated on Fiber Distribution Management System (FDMS) at each regenerator (REG) or Add Drop Multiplexer (ADM) location. Installation of FDMS is done according to the manufacturer's specification. End to End testing can be carried out from the FDMS to FDMS using the connectors which are mounted on the FDMS. Cable Testing The cable will be tested before pulling/blowing to ensure continuity as well as to check all the parameters in both 1550 nm and 1310 nm windows. Aerial Cabling At places where open trenching is not possible due to very narrow roads and due to delay in obtaining RoW, aerial cabling will be adopted as a temporary solution. Also by using special cables (ADSS) this will be laid along the Transmission lines for longer distances. Fusion splicing Splicing is done using a good quality splicing machine. Splice loss per joint will be minimum and would not be more than 0.07 dB. In no case average splice loss per link will be more than 0.06 dB x No. of splices. At least 0.6 M to 0.8 M fiber would be stored in cable tray. Fiber would be neatly coiled without kinks. Minimum bending radius of 80mm would be ensured, Joint closure would be sealed properly before it is taken out of the controlled environment free from dust particles and air-conditioned splicing van. End to End Link Testing Link Test is carried out on entire section terminated at both ends after completion of tasks to ensure the losses are within permissible limits on all fiber.
