This document specifies the properties of a single mode fiber optic cable that is non-metallic and for onshore use. It has either 24 or 48 fibers contained within loose buffer tubes. The cable core contains a fiber reinforced plastic central strength member and is armored. It has an outer sheath of UV resistant HDPE and meets various Saudi Aramco specifications for material and engineering standards. The optical fibers have properties consistent with ITU-T G.655 for single mode fibers including attenuation, chromatic dispersion, and proof stress level.
