obvious faults. Cable drums shall be checked for drum numbers and physical
lengths and must confirm to the contractual lengths required. All cables shall
be checked for optical core size and Fiber Count and must confirm to the
required contractual cable specifications.

Procedure FOC Testing
*Attenuation Test
All Fibers shall be tested in one direction at both wave lengths of
1310/1550nm for single mode cables and 1310nm for multimode (short
distance-data communication) cables. The measured Fiber Attenuation
(db/km) shall conform to the manufacturers test data and the stated
contractual attenuation (db/km)
*Optical Talk Test for Continuity
All Fibers shall be tested in one direction at both wavelengths of
1310/1550nm for Single Mode cables and 1310nm for multimode cables. The
measured optical length shall conform to the manufacturers measured
optical length using the recommended Index Of Refraction (I.O.R.).
(44)
Procedure FOC Testing
All data corresponding to the drum test shall be recorded on the Drum Test
form.
If any discrepancies in test results are found i.e. Macro Bends or damaged
fibers, this must be reported immediately to the appropriate responsible
person.
All wooden slates which have been removed from the cable drums must be
stored in a safe place. Once the Optical Acceptance Test is complete, cable
ends shall be recapped or securely taped and all these wooden slats must be
replaced.

Procedure FOC Testing
Stage 3:Splicing and Termination of Cables
Splicing and Termination Splicing of all optical fiber cables shall be carried
out by means of a calibrated fusion splicing machine and Optical Fiber
Cleaver (see equipment Required)
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 resplicing.
All data corresponding to the Theoretical Splice Loss shall be recorded on the
Theoretical Splice Loss Test.
The actual splice loss of each individual splice shall be equal to or less than
the stated splice loss in the contractual specifications.
(52)
Procedure FOC Testing
Stage 4: Splice testing for loss and continuity
Actual splice loss
Once the cable have been spliced, each individual splice loss shall be
measured in both directions by means of an OTDR at the wavelength of
1550nm for single mode and 1310nm for multimode. The average of both
results shall be taken to produce the Actual Splice Loss.
If this loss is greater than the contractual stated splice loss on any two fibers
spliced, then the splice shall be re-made. A maximum of three (3) attempts to
re-place a particular high fiber shall be made to bring the actual splice loss
within the contractual specifications.
(53)
Procedure FOC Testing
If any actual splice loss result does not comply to the contractual
specifications and three (3) attempts to rectify the splice have been made, then
the engineer responsible for the contract shall review the test results before an
relaxation of the specifications are made.
All data corresponding to the Actual Splice Loss shall be recorded on the
Actual Splice Loss Test Form.
OTDR traces of each individual fiber between regen or repeater sites shall be
taken at 1310/1550nm for single mode cables and 1310nm for multimode
cables and saved to disk for documentation and future investigation.
Continuity
Once all the 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 regens or repeater sites.
(54)
Procedure FOC Testing
(55)
Procedure FOC Testing
Stage 5: End to End Tests -Section Loss
Once the splice loss and continuity tests have been carried out, End to End Power
Meter test shall be taken to determine the loss of an individual section of the cable
which has been completely spliced, terminated and cleared of any faults.
The test shall be taken using Optical Power Meter from one point of termination to
other.
The Power Meter reading shall be equal to or lower than the maximum allowed
Power Loss Budget which shall be calculated using the Formula:
Budget Loss Formula
(dB/KM x L) +(SL x NS) + 2 x CL dB = Maximum Permitted Budget Loss
Where : dB/KM Fiber Attenuation
L - Total Cable Length
SL Contractual Stated Splice Loss
NS Number of Splice
2 x CL dB Connector Loss
All data corresponding to the Section Loss shall be recorded on the Section Loss Test
Form.
(56)
Procedure FOC Testing
Stage 6: Cable Damage
Repair/Massaging
The cable can be repaired by removing the outer sheath and exposing the
loose tubes allowing the damaged section of cables to be massaged therefore
removing any pressure from the fiber that may be causing the loss of
transmission. This method can considerably decrease the loss over the
damaged point by removing the micro bends that have been caused due the
damaged cable.
A zipper type heat shrink must then be placed the exposed section of the
cable to protect the fibers and prevent ingress of moisture.
(57)
Procedure FOC Testing
Cable Cut / Repair
If a cable has been cut preventing the above method to be utilized then
permission must be sought from the engineer in charge of the project before
any additional splices can be added to the damaged cable section in
question.
This can be done by replacing a minimum of 200 meters of Fiber Optic
Cable from the damaged / Cut Cable section and therefore adding extra
splice points to the damaged Section.
Please note: Any damaged cable section that has been discovered before or
during installation, by OTDR tests or Observations after installation shall
be documented and reported immediately to the Engineer in charge.
