OPTICAL AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A SINGLE MODE FIBRE
Effective group index of refraction Neff(1310nm): 1.4675
Effective group index of refraction Neff(1550nm): 1.4681
Attenuation at 1310nm (nominal): 0.34 dB/km
Attenuation at 1550nm (nominal): 0.19 dB/km
Trang 2CORE MATERIAL
The core of the fibre optic, with a higher refractive index compared to the cladding, is made of SiO2
(Silicon dioxide) doped with GeO2 (Germanium dioxide)
CLADDING MATERIAL
The cladding of the fibre optic is made of SiO2 (Silicon dioxide)
TYPE OF PRIMARY COATING
The primary coating is made of an UV-curable acrylate It is applied in two layers, each of a different Young’s modulus The inner layer is somewhat softer than the outer one
This coating protects the fibre against microbending losses and against abrasion
Fibre color coding:
DIMENSION OF PRIMARY COATING
The dimension of the primary coating is 250 µm ± 15 µm
MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRIMARY COATING
The primary coating is easily strippable by means of a mechanical stripping tool No chemicals are required
MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FIBRE
Trang 3BUFFER TUBE TECHNIQUE
In the loose buffer tube technique the primary coated fibre is accommodated in a secondary coating, called buffer tube
The buffer tube may contain one or more fibres; the fibres are loosely laying in the tube, statistically
in the center of the tube
Due to stranding of the buffers an overlength is produced
(The overlength depends on stranding radius, tube diameter and lay length)
That means if a tensile force is applied to the cable, an elongation in a wide range will not result in fibre strain and no attenuation increase is observed
The loose buffer technique is also coping best to temperature induced contractions or dilatations of the cable The structure is as well a good protection against transverse compression
As a result the whole cable construction is, within a wide range, insensitive to external influences
REVERSE LAY (SZ) STRANDING
The elements (loose buffer tubes and if necessary filling elements) are stranded around a central member according to the reverse lay method, which means, that the direction of stranding reverses after a predetermined number of revolutions
At the reverse point the elements are laying parallel to the axis of the cable
A binder is wound around the elements in order to retain them in the proper position
Trang 4MANUFACTURING OF A DIRECT BURIED FIBRE OPTIC CABLE
Around a FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) central member, buffer tubes and if necessary filling elements are stranded to form the core of the cable
The central member serving mainly as anti-buckling element will be overcoated with a PE jacket if required, to obtain the correct stranding radius
The buffer tubes contain up to 12 fibres and are filled with a paraffine oil based filling compound
Color coding
As well the interstices of the core are filled with a filling compound in order to block any possible water ingress
Aramid yarns are then stranded around the optical module to provide the required tensile strength
An inner PE sheath (nominal thickness 1mm) is extruded above the core covering
A corrugated steel tape is longitudinally applied over the inner PE sheath with an overlap The corrugated steel tape has a nominal thickness of 0.155 mm and 0.4mm above the corrugation; both surfaces are coated with a copolymer, each one 0.05mm thick The corrugated steel tape acts as a rodent protection
Finally an outer PE-jacket (approximate thickness 1.5 mm is extruded)
Please refer to the cross sectional drawing which we enclose
MARKING
The marking of durable quality, is printed on the cable at regular interval of one meter length The type of legend marking on the cable is as follows:
