- ITU-T G.652.D Standard for core fiber.

Cable structure

CENTRAL STRENGTH MEMBER (CSM)

Material

 

Non metal FRP (Fibregrass Reinforce with Plastic)

Diameter

Armor layer between Outer sheath and Outer Strength Member for waterproof, moisture protection, and rodent species prevention

 

Corrugated steel tape with polymer coating on both side

Sheath marking

-

Engraved name / symbol and sign as required by investors including: name of manufacturer- SCTV, type of cable, month-year of production, length marking in meter.

Test specifications certification

-

Cable will have Type Test performed by manufacturer at the factory international IEC / EIA standards or equivalent:

* Torsion Test :

- TIA/EIA-455-85A or IEC-794-1-E7

(IEC 60794-1-2 Method E7)

* Tensile & Fiber strain Test

- IEC-794-1-E1.

(IEC 60794-1-2 Method E1)

* Impact Test

- TIA/EIA-455-25B or IEC-794-1-E4

* Flexing Test

- TIA/EIA-455-104  or IEC-794-1-E6

* Crush resistance Test

After test, the optical cable is not broken, sheath is not cracked, growth of attenuation does not exceed 0.1 dB at 1550nm, waterproof cable.

Other requirements:

* The usual length of each figure 8 cable reel is 4 Km ±  1% (unless other requirements of the investor)

* Wooden drum is provided with cable and marked arrows indicate the direction of rotation of the cable reel.
