Outdoor Optical Drop Cable

2. GENERAL AND APPLICABILITY

This specification defines the requirements that must be met by optical drop cables that are going to be
installed on facades, poles or conduits in FTTH deployments.

The design of the cable will allow its connectorization in the field, as well as the factory assembly of
both an indoor SC/APC type connector and a reinforced outdoor connector.

For the technical evaluation of the product, the tests will be carried out as detailed in this specification.

The test methods and conditions to be applied will be those of the referenced regulations. When it is
convenient to use other methods, they will be referenced in italics. The methods not listed in the
referenced regulations will be agreed with the suppliers.

None of the materials used will be harmful to people or the environment.

The cable will be completely dielectric, that is, it will not have any metallic element.

4. CABLE TEST METHODS AND REQUIREMENTS

The requirements specified here shall be valid for the expected life of the cable of at least 20
years..
All elements of the cable must be non-metallic.
The materials used must be compatible with the other elements of the cable.
In the tests that require monitoring the transmitted power or attenuation, it will be carried out at a
wavelength 1550 nm, unless otherwise specified in the corresponding sections.
In mechanical and environmental tests, any reference in the acceptance criteria to:
• “No change in attenuation” should be considered as +/- 0.05 dB.
• “No fiber elongation” is understood as measured elongations +/- 0.05%.
• “No damage” refers to the following: Upon visual inspection without magnification, no
damage to the sheath or cable elements should be observed.
In the case of discrepancies in the measurements made with different test
methods, the results obtained with the test methods of the referenced standard will be considered correct.
4.1 OPTICAL FIBERS
The optical fiber that will be included in these cables will be optimized against bending according to
G.657 A2, and compatible with G.652.D (low attenuation at the water peak), which allows the bending
diameter of the cable to be reduced. wire.
The characteristics of the fiber will be those detailed in ERQ.f6.0216, category A2, and must be
authorized by Telefónica.
The transmissivity of the first colored shield shall be in accordance with the fiber specification.
The protection will be free of pores, cracks, bulges and other imperfections. Its appearance will be
smooth, with brightness and uniform tone.No se debe producir degradación de la fibra a lo largo
de los procesos de fabricación del cable.
There shall be no splices in the fiber throughout the supplied length.
Defective fibers are those that present a lack of optical continuity or do not comply with the
characteristics indicated in this specification.
The percentage of defective optical fibers admitted is 0%.

4.2 SECOND PROTECTION: LOOSE TUBE

The loose tube will contain an optical fiber.
The tube must be filled with water-blocking compounds or elements.
The loose tube will be made of thermoplastic material: Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT or similar,
with the characteristics of high Young's modulus, high mechanical resistance, high impact
resistance, low friction coefficient of the surface in contact with the fibers, low humidity
absorption and stability to hydrolysis.
They will also be resistant to strangulation or breakage during handling.
The characteristics that the loose tube must meet are detailed in Annex 4.
When other similar materials are incorporated, their use will be justified and their characteristics
will be defined.
The materials used for the loose tube must be compatible with the other elements with which they
are in contact.
4.3 OPTICAL CABLE CONSTRUCTION
4.3.1 CABLE ELEMENTS ASSEMBLY
The optical fiber, with 900 micron protection, will be housed semi-loosely inside a tube that will
go without wiring.
The second 900 micron shield will be semi-tight, allowing stripping in 5 cm pieces of at least 20
cm without damaging the 250 micron coating on the fibre. The adjustment of the 900 micron protection
must also allow the optical fusion to be carried out.
The reinforcement element (aramid threads and fiberglass threads) and the outer cover will be
placed on the tube, as detailed in the following sections.
 The cable must be completely dry between the core and the sheath, so no oily compound such as
petrolatum or similar may be used.
The cable will have the necessary elements to achieve its watertightness (for example: hydro-
expansive aramid yarns, water-blocking longitudinal cords, etc.) and guarantee the water penetration
requirement described in section
4.6.4.3.2 TUBE FILLING MATERIAL
The tube containing the fiber will be filled with a hydrophobic and thixotropic material, stable in
the range of operating and maintenance temperatures, that meets the requirements reflected in Annex 5.
The material with a uniform appearance throughout its mass will be light in color. transparent,
without lumps, impurities or any type of contamination and free of air bubbles. If required, a hydrogen
absorbing material can be used to prevent degradation due to its presence in the cable. Alternatively, a
dry cable design without gel-type filler compound will be accepted.
The manufacturer will detail the characteristics of the alternative elements used.
4.3.3 STRENGHT MEMBER
The cable shall be designed with sufficient tensile strengthening elements to ensure the requirements of
this specification. It will be made up of aramid yarns and fiberglass yarns. The characteristics of aramid
fibers and glass fibers are detailed in Annex 7. The manufacturer may vary the number of yarns,
provided that the total dtex is not less than the specified minimum. In the case of using hydro-expansive
aramid yarns, the weight of the hydro-expansive compound will not be counted for the computation of
the total dtex.
4.3.4 CABLE JACKET
The material used for the cable sheath must be Thermoplastic, halogen-free, flame retardant, with low
smoke emission and UV stable. The cover will be black. The characteristics and parameters that must be
met are reflected in Annex 6. Six measurements of the thickness of the covers will be made at each end
of each piece of test cable, in accordance with the IEC 60811-202 standard. In these 6 measurements, the
areas where the ripping thread has left a mark will not be considered. The value of the average of the
measurements of the thickness, made at any point, will not be less than the specified nominal values. The
minimum thickness measured shall not be less than 85% of the specified nominal value. Additionally,
the areas of the rip cord will be measured, requiring that at no point of the rip cord the thickness of the
cover be less than 50% of the nominal specified. The cover and reinforcing elements will form a solidary
assembly, so that the stresses to which the cable may be subjected are transmitted directly to the
reinforcing elements without damaging the thermoplastic cover.
4.3.5 JACKET SPECIAL PRINT
The cable shall be provided with identification and length markings located along the surface of
the outer jacket. The marking will be carried out using an appropriate system, preferably with a heat
transfer printing tape, in such a way as to guarantee a clearly legible mark whose color contrasts with
that of the outer cover, which is indelible, weather resistant and is perfectly adhered to the base material.
The color of the marking will preferably be white or of a color and tone that is appropriately identified.
The cable shall be marked with a metric scale. The actual cable length should be within +1.0/-0.0% of
the length indicated by the sequential marking. The characters will be of a minimum height, width and
separation from each other such that they allow perfect legibility. It is not an essential condition that the
marking of the length of each length of cable (pull) start at zero, but it is continuous and progressive
throughout the length of the cable. The markings on the cable will be as follows:
- Brand
- Manufacturing Year (4 digits) – “Número de fibras (1 F.O.). “
- Fiber Type:
“10.D - 7 A2”: Singlemode Standard Dispersion optimized against curvatures (type G.657, A2)
and compatible with G.652.D.
- Jacket Type: “EXT” (Meaning Outdoor)
- “MOVISTAR”
- Manufacturing order or similar according to the manufacturer's control process, to ensure the
traceability of the cable once installed.
- Sequential length marking (m) Example: “STARCOM 2022 1 F.O. 10.D - 7 A2 EXT
MOVISTAR BG202210 xxxx meters”

In the event that the marking does not meet the preceding requirements, a second marking of the
cable will be admitted, which must satisfy the conditions previously prescribed and what is
indicated below:
 Its color will be different from the one used in the first marking. It will be carried out in a
different place on the cable than the first marking.
When a length of cable is supplied in this way (with a second marking), the reel that
contains it must indicate on both sides, the color and the sequence that must be
considered as valid.
The manufacturing order (or similar) will be a manufacturer's own system whose function
will be to allow tracking and traceability of the cable to the mother reel in the factory.

4.3.6 RIP CORD

A ripcord must be arranged under the sheath of the cables. The rip cord should be easily distinguishable
from any other component (eg aramid and fiberglass yarns). At temperatures above 5ºC, the rip cord
must be capable of ripping at least 1 meter of the cover without breaking.

11. GENERAL REMARKS

It is convenient for the supplier's interests to make the prior consultations it deems pertinent on raw
materials and the manufacturing process before proceeding with the total preparation of the order, so that
TELEFÓNICA makes the appropriate observations.

These indications do not mean in any case the acceptance of the material by TELEFÓNICA, which will
always carry out the recognition before taking charge of the order.

The TELEFÓNICA inspector is empowered to reject material that does not meet the conditions and
characteristics described in this Specification. However, the inspections carried out by said
representative do not exempt the manufacturer from the obligation to supply the material in perfect
conditions, so if even after receipt of the material, it will be verified that all or part of it does not meet
the conditions required, TELEFÓNICA will have the right to reject it, and the costs incurred by the

In the process of applying the products specified in this publication, and in order to avoid contamination
and unfavorable environmental impact, special care must be taken in the handling, treatment and
disposal of waste, in order to comply with the legislation on this matter.

In this sense, the use of materials labeled for recycling is recommended, without CFCs, beryllium oxide,
or cadmium, or those elements or substances that may be harmful to the environment, preferably using
water-based lacquers without organic solvents and materials. of reusable packaging or, failing that,
disposable in landfills or incinerators.

In the event that any element contains a component classified as toxic, harmful, dangerous or aggressive
to the environment, according to current legislation, the manufacturer is obliged to notify
TELEFÓNICA, prior to its approval or supply, expressly indicating the element that It deals with, if
applicable, its concentration or location of the component within the assembly, and including in the User
Manual, the client's final action proposal with the hazardous waste generated by said element. Likewise,
the manufacturer must deliver a safety and environmental data sheet for the components and materials
that are part of the product.

All materials used in the manufacture of this element must comply with the RoHS standard "Restriction
of the use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment", which restricts the
use of 6 substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and two brominated flame
retardants, PBBs and PBDEs). RoHS is linked to the WEEE Directive and its content emanates from it.

13. QUALITY CONTROL

The Telefónica inspector will supervise quality throughout the entire production process.
The checks or evaluations to be carried out in process or reception, indicated in section 4 of
this specification, will be carried out jointly with the manufacturer in the manner agreed by
both parties.
Whenever it is considered convenient, samples will be sent duly passworded and conditioned
to the Telefónica Laboratories agreed with the manufacturers.

Telefónica will verify that the cables meet the specific characteristics by means of the
samples it carries out on finished cables.
Sampling plans and procedures will be adapted to those established by the manufacturer at
each stage of the manufacturing process, provided that they guarantee the quality levels
established by Telefónica.
