➢ Splicing and Termination of cables

Splicing of all Optical fiber cables shall be carried out by means
of a calibrated fusion splicing machine and optical fiber cleaver.
The theoretical Splice loss reading which is displayed on the
fusion splicing machine shall be kept to maximum of 0.05 dB to
reduce the number of re splicing. All data corresponding to the
theoretical Splice Loss shall record on the Theoretical Splice Loss
Test form Sheet.
The actual splice loss of each individual splice is equal to or less
than the stated splice loss in the contractual specifications.
➢ Splice Loss and Continuity

i. Actual Splice Loss
Once all cables have been spliced, each individual splice loss shall
be measured in both directions at the wavelength of 1550nm for
Single Mode and 850nm for Multi-Mode the average of both
results shall be taken to produce the 'Actual Splice Loss'. If
this loss is greater that the contractual stated splice loss on any
two fibers spliced, and then the splice shall be re-made. A
maximum of three (3) attempts to re-splice a particular high
fiber shall be made to bring the actual splice loss within the
contractual specifications.
ii. Continuity
Once all individual splice losses fall within the contractual
specifications continuity of each individual fiber shall be tested by
means of an optical fiber talk set to ensure continuity between two
regions or repeater sites.

➢ End to end test

Once the splice loss and continuity tests have been carried out the
End to End power meter test shall be taken to determine the loss
of an individual section of cable which has been completely
spliced, terminated and cleared of any faults.
The test shall be taken using an optical fiber light source and Power
meter from one point of termination to another.
Cat6 Cable Testing
➢ Channel link test

In a network, the channel is the connection from one active
device to another, and it includes any patch cords and
equipment cords. In the LAN, this would include any cable
between the switch in the telecom room and the end device,
including any patch cords from the switch to a patch panel and any
equipment cords from the outlet to end device.
The main and remote testing units have adapters with RJ45
ports. These adapters connect to the cabling with standard

patch cords. The test is, therefore, covering the complete
channel.
Cord + Patch Panel + Cable + Outlet + Cord:

DIFC CP-05 Office
DOCUMENT NUMBER
Revision 00
Dubai, UAE SYSTEM
This test has the advantage of covering the complete cabling

between a switch and a connected device, therefore ensuring
that the application can function properly. However, the test is
only valid as long as the patch cords remain in place. If one
cord is replaced, then the test is no longer valid.
➢ Wiremap
A wiremap test proves the correct continuity on all pairs and
determines if the individual conductors in the cabling are
connected correctly. In a balanced twisted-pair cable the test
should indicate:
➢ Continuity to the remote end
➢ Shorts between any two or more conductors
➢ Transposed pairs
➢ Reversed pairs
➢ Split pairs
➢ Shield continuity (only for shielded cable)
➢ Grounded conductor
➢ Resistance`
Resistance results show the DC loop resistance for each cable pair.
A pair’s resistance depends on the integrity of the contacts in the
connector, the length of the pair, and its wire gauge.
Resistance problems always affect other tests. For example, a
link that is too long has higher-than-normal resistance and will
fail the length test and high-resistance connections reflect signals
that cause the return loss test to fail.
Resistance is tested on coaxial cables and is measured between
the center conductor and shield of the coaxial cable. Resistance is
not required as an acceptance test on balanced twisted-pair
cabling.

➢ Length
Maximum length for the Permanent Link is 90m (295ft), and
100m (328ft) for the Channel Link. The pair with the shortest
electrical delay is used for the maximum length calculation.
A time domain reflectometer (TDR) method is used to calculate the
length of a cable by measuring the time it takes a pulse to travel down
the cable and back (round trip delay). This time is twice the propagation
delay.
A 2 % to 5 % difference in measured length among cable pairs is normal because
of the following:
• Signals travel at slightly different speeds in each
cable pair, but the tester uses the same speed to
calculate the length of each Pair.
• The twist rate varies slightly among cable pairs. If
you untwisted and straightened all the pairs, they
would have slightly different lengths.
➢ Propagation Delay & Delay Skew

Propagation Delay is the time taken for a test pulse to travel the
length of a cable pair. The delay is measured in nanoseconds.
Propagation delays vary slightly among pairs because of small
differences in electrical characteristics and length.
Delay skews are the differences in propagation delays between the
shortest delay and the delays of the other delay skew results.
➢ Insertion Loss (Attenuation)
Insertion Loss is also known as Attenuation. Insertion loss is the
loss of signal strength over cabling caused by the resistance of the
copper wire and connecting hardware and by leakage of electrical
energy through the cable’s insulation.
At higher frequencies, signals tend to travel only near the surface of
a conductor. This “skin effect”, along with the cabling’s inductance
and capacitance, cause insertion loss to increase
DIFC CP-05 Office
DOCUMENT NUMBER
Revision 00
Dubai, UAE SYSTEM
should be greater than 3 dB at any given frequency for measurement

accuracy. The smaller the loss in decibel (dB), the better the performance.
Insertion Loss deviation is a measure of the worst-case difference in
magnitude between the expected insertion loss and the actual measured
insertion loss. Insertion Loss is not required as an acceptance test for a balanced
twisted pair cabling.
➢ Return Loss
Return loss is the difference between the power of a transmitted
signal and the power of the signals reflected back. Signal reflections
are caused by variations in the cable’s impedance.
Return Loss is a measurement of the power reflected from the
cabling (in dB). The ratio of the reflected voltage to the incident
voltage is used to determine Return Loss. Return Loss is measured
over a frequency range and used as an indication of the
impedance uniformity of the cabling. The larger the value of return loss
in dB, the better the performance.
High return loss means the cabling reflects very little of the
transmitted signal back to the source. High return loss is especially
important for high-speed systems, such as Gigabit Ethernet. The bi-
directional (full-duplex) transceivers used in these systems use
directional couplers to distinguish between incoming and outgoing
signals. The couplers may interpret strong reflected signals as
incoming data, resulting in data errors.
➢ Characteristic Impedance
Characteristic Impedance is the impedance a cable would have if
the cable were infinitely long. Proper network operation depends on
constant characteristic impedance throughout the system’s cables and
connectors. Abrupt changes in characteristic impedance called
anomalies will cause signal reflections that can cause network faults.
Impedance measurements require a cable at least 5m (16ft) long.
DIFC CP-05 Office
DOCUMENT NUMBER
Revision 00
Dubai, UAE SYSTEM
Cables shorter than this length will always pass the impedance
test. Characteristic Impedance results show approximate
characteristic impedance of each cable pair. Characteristic
Impedance is not required as an acceptance test for balanced twisted-
pair cabling.
