CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />SPECIFICATIONS <br />PROJECT NO.: XX-XXXX <br />PROJECT TITLE <br /> <br />102 <br />3. Splicing <br />All fiber optic splices shall use the fusion method. The mean bi-directional splice <br />loss of any splice shall not exceed 0.15 dB. <br />The termination splices shall connect the fiber optic cable span ends with pigtails. <br />The termination splices shall be placed in a splice tray. The individual fibers shall <br />be looped one full turn within the splice tray to avoid bending losses. A 2-inch <br />minimum bending radius shall be maintained during installation and after final <br />assembly in the optical fiber splice tray. Each fiber shall be individually <br />restrained in the splice tray. The optic fibers in buffer tubes and the placement of <br />the optical fibers in the splice tray shall be such that there is no discernable tensile <br />force on the optical fiber. <br />All splices shall be protected with a thermal shrink sleeve or approved equivalent. <br /> <br />All fibers shall be labeled in the splice tray with permanent vinyl markers. Pigtail <br />ends shall also be labeled to identify the destination of the fiber. <br />4. Field Splice Closures <br />Where splicing is required inside the pull box or splice vault, the Contractor is <br />responsible for supplying the splice closure and all accessories including bond <br />connectors and proper end plates to provide splices as recommended by the <br />manufacturer. Unless noted otherwise, splice closure shall be Corning Splice <br />Closure part number SCF-6C22-01-72. All splicing shall be done by the <br />Contractor, the City will supply necessary splice detail information or splicing <br />diagram. <br />5. Connectors <br />The fiber optic connectors shall be the ceramic ferrule SC type for single mode <br />applications. <br />All fiber optic connectors shall be the 2.5 mm SC connector ferrule type with <br />Zirconia Ceramic material with a PC (Physical Contact) pre-radiused tip. <br />Field terminations shall be limited to splicing of adjoining trunk cable ends and <br />pigtail breakouts. The pigtails shall utilize factory installed SC connectors. <br />6. Fiber Optic Testing <br />a. General <br />Testing shall include the tests on elements of the passive fiber optic <br />components: (1) at the factory, (2) after delivery to the project site but prior to <br />505 E Central Ave <br />#B11/6/2024
