I <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br /> I 2 Fiber Optic Splice Closure <br /> 3 Upon sealing the splice closure, the Contractor shall show that the closure <br /> 4 maintains 10 psi of pressure for a 24-hour period. <br /> I 5 <br /> 6 Fiber Optic Cable Labeling <br /> 7 Permanent cable labels shall be used to identify fiber optic cables at each <br /> I 8 termination point and in every pull box and cable vault. The cable labels shall <br /> 9 consist of a self-laminating plastic black and yellow tag with the words "CAUTION <br /> 10 FIBER OPTIC CABLE" and with a space for a custom description of the cable <br /> 11 being labeled. The custom portion of the tag shall contain the fiber count, fiber <br /> I 12 type (SMFO or MMFO), use (mainline, distribution, or other), and cable direction <br /> 13 (north, east, south, west). <br /> 14 <br /> I 15 Patch panels shall be labeled with 3/8"-1/2" printed laminated labels. The labels <br /> 16 shall be located inside the patch panel where they can be read with the door open. <br /> 17 The labels shall provide a description of what fibers are spliced to each port in the <br /> I 18 panel. The description shall include port number, fiber purpose, cable direction and <br /> 19 fiber numbers (i.e. "Ports 13-24: Distribution South 1-12"). <br /> 20 <br /> I 21 <br /> 22 Fiber Optic Cable Testing <br /> 23 The installed optical fiber cable shall be tested for compliance with the <br /> 24 transmission requirements of this specification, the cable and hardware <br /> I25 manufacturer's specifications, and prescribed industry standards and practices. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Prior to commencing acceptance testing, the Contractor shall complete the <br /> I 28 installation of the fiber optic system. This includes sealing the splice closures, <br /> 29 completing the splicing and racking the cables in the pull boxes and cable vaults. <br /> 30 <br /> I 31 All testing values shall be in metric. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Types of Testing <br /> I 34 The two required acceptance tests for optical fiber cable system certification <br /> 35 are: <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Power Meter testing <br /> 11 38 <br /> 39 Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) testing <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Power Meter Testing <br /> 42 Power meter testing shall be used to measure the end-to-end attenuation <br /> 43 of each new fiber installed between a field device and a communications <br /> 44 hub as well as between communications hubs. Power meter testing shall <br /> 45 be performed at the 1310 and 1550 nanometer wavelength in both <br /> 46 directions. <br /> 47 <br /> I 48 Prior to commencing testing, the Contractor shall submit the manufacturer <br /> 49 and model number of the test equipment along with certification that the <br /> I 50 power meter has been calibrated within 12 months of the proposed test <br /> 51 dates. <br /> I 41s`STREET TO WMVD FREIGHT <br /> CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS <br /> FED AID#STPUL-9931(012); PW#3472 SP-107 February 10,2016 <br />
