4.3.7
All wires shall lie naturally in their true positions in the completed
composite OPGW. The wires shall be so stranded that when the
composite OPGW is cut at any point the individual wires can be readily
regrouped and then held in place by one hand.
The central fiber optical unit shall be designed to encase and protect the
optical fibers from damage due to forces such as crushing, bending,
twisting, tensile stress and moisture.
4.4.2
The central fiber optical unit, including the outer stranded metallic wires,
shall protect the optical fibers from degradation due to vibration, wind
loading, wide temperature variations, lightning and fault currents as well

coated stainless steel tube shall be SS 316L (steel designation
X2CrNiMo 17-12-2, material No. 1.4404 per DIN/BS-EN 10088-2
standard or per other equivalent standard).
b. Channeled Rod or Spacer
An aluminum or non-metallic material may be used with channels or
grooves and formed into a helix to house the fibers. The fibers may
be contained inside a tube placed in the groove(s). An outer
protective shield may be applied around the channeled rod or spacer
such as a tube or a helically applied overlapping tape to provide an
additional machanical and environmental barrier.
4.4.4
Filling Compound
Interstices, where present in the slotted core of the central fiber optical
unit, shall be filled with suitable compound to prohibit any moisture
ingress from outside or any water migration along the fiber optical unit.
The filling compound shall be non-toxic and dermatilogically safe to
exposed skin. It shall be chemically and mechanically compatible with
all the components, non-nutritive to fungus, electrically non-conductive
and shall absorb and/or inhibit generation of hydrogen within the cable.
The filling compound shall be able to withstand normal service
conditions specified in 01-SDMS-01 and shall remain flexible (not to
harden) throughout the entire life of the fiber (at least for 30 years).
4.4.5
4.4.6
The central fiber optical unit shall withstand maximum fault current as
specified in Data Schedule without degradation to the physical and
mechanical characteristics and properties of the fibers.

attached to reels in such a manner where individual lagging strips will remain in
place during normal shipment, handling, and storage.
6.5 The outer end of the OPGW shall be fastened to the inner surface of the reel
flange a minimum of 25 mm below the wood lagging.
The cable end shall be securely fastened to prevent the cable from becoming
loose during shipment. Aminimum of 4 meter of the inner end of the OPGW shall
be accessible for connection to optical measuring equipment without removing
wood lagging or outer layer of protection. This length of cable shall be securely
fastened and protected during shipment.
6.6 A seal shall be applied to each end of the OPGW to prevent the entrance of
moisture into the optical fibers or the escape of filling compund during shipment
and storage. Two (2) extra seals shall be shipped with each reel and should be
accessible without removing lagging.
6.7 The manufacturer shall furnish at the time of shipment, a certified record of final
quality control measured values for each fiber on each reel. This certification
shall be attached to the outside flange of the reel in a weatherproof package or
submitted by the vendor, seperately.
6.8 Each reel shall be marked on the outside flange to indicate the direction the reel
should be rolled during shipment in order to prevent loosening of the cable on the
reel.
