2. Introduction to Fiber Optic

Basic Blocks of Communication:

1. Transmitter
2. Channel (Medium)
3. Receiver

Transmitter - Circuits that transformed Signal suitable to pass

through The Channel.
Receiver - Circuits that Converts back the signal to its original form
Channel - Medium used to convey information.

Common Transmission Channels are:

 Free Space ( Radio System)
 Metallic Cable ( Telephone and Data System)
 Fiber Optic ( High Speed Systems through light Signals)

7. Work Procedures & Requirements

7.1 General Requirements

7.2 Fiber Optic Cable Installation

7.3 Fiber Optic Cable Termination / Splicing & Testing

20
7. Work Procedures & Requirements
7.1 General Requirements
1. All related design drawings must be stamped by the RCDD before the package can be issued for
Construction (IFC). (PCS only)

2. Direct burial of fiber optic cables is prohibited. (PCS only)

3. Conduits shall be single bore, plastic (PVC) NEMA TC 8, Type DB or EB. Same type of conduits
should be placed on any specific conduit section.

4. A maximum of equivalent two 90° bends are permitted in each section of the conduit runs. The
minimum bend radius of the conduits shall be 36˝. (PCS only)

5. All underground conduit systems in plant areas shall be concrete encased for mechanical
protection with non-structural concrete. (PCS only)

6. In plant areas, where vehicular traffic loads is expected, conduits should be located at least 760 mm
(30˝) below surface grade. Plant areas, where vehicular traffic load is unlikely, conduits should be
located at least 610 mm (24˝) below surface grade.

7. An “orange color” – detectable warning tape shall be placed above the conduit concrete
encasement to provide early warning. The tape shall be located at a minimum of 300 mm above the
upper surface of the conduit system.

21
7. Work Procedures & Requirements
7.2 Fiber Optic Cable Installation
1. When redundant data links are provided, the primary cable shall follow a different route
from the back up cable. (PCS only)

2. All 'Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable' shall be loose-tube buffered.

3. The pulling tension on fiber optic cables shall not exceed 600 pounds unless greater
pulling tensions are specifically approved by the cable manufacturer. When fiber optic
cable is pulled, it shall be pulled in a straight line. The cable shall never be bent or
wrapped around the hand or any other object as it is pulled. Only vendor-approved
equipment or methods shall be used.

4. The minimum bending radius for fiber optic cable is:

1. Ten (10) times the cable diameter when the cable is not under tension
2. Twenty (20) times the cable diameter when the cable is under tension

5. Outdoor fiber optic cables (non-fire rated) shall not be run exposed for more than 15 m
(50.0 ft) within a building. If more than 15.2 m (50.0 ft) of cable is required between the
building entrance point and the cable termination point.

22
7. Work Procedures & Requirements
7.3 Fiber Optic Cable Termination / Splicing & Testing
1. Only approved FO Cable Splicer (with valid JCC) shall perform the termination or splicing of
Fiber Optic Cables

2. Only the ST and SC type connectors shall be used to terminate optical fiber cable.
(PCS only)

23
7. Work Procedures & Requirements
7.3 Fiber Optic Cable Termination & Testing

Testing Requirements
Acceptance testing requirements for fiber optic cables shall comply the requirements stated
in the table below, and three (3) basic tests

1 On-Reel Acceptance tests shall be performed on the cable to ensure

materials quality prior to installation using OTDR.

2 End-to-End Loss (typically 100% of fibers in both directions, and 100% of fiber splices and con-
conducted after completion of nections; (individual splice loss shall not exceed the following limits;
installation and splicing, also The maximum attenuation of each fiber within a cable, when normal-
before installation of terminal ized to a length of 1 km:
equipment’s using a) At wavelength = 1,300 nm, shall be 0.5 dB/km or less, and
OTDR). b) At wavelength = 1,550 nm, shall be 0.3 dB/km or less.
c) Individual splice insertion loss shall be 0.05 dB average link splice
loss with no single splice loss above 0.1 dB for fusion splices, and
0.1 dB average link splice loss with no single splice loss above
0.2 dB for mechanical splices;
d) Connectors shall have insertion losses of 0.5 dB or less).

3 Measuring Power (Power This measurement is the basis for loss measurements as well as
Meter Test) the power from a source or presented at a receiver.

8. Lessons and Learned

 Outdoor fiber optic cables (non-fire rated) had been run exposed for
more than 15 m (50.0 ft) within a building. This is violation against
SAES-Z-020, para. 6.10.2

 Cable Testing after Pulling Fails due to suspected Hard objects Hitting
the cable Area
