CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />SPECIFICATIONS <br />PROJECT NO.: XX-XXXX <br />PROJECT TITLE <br /> <br />104 <br />confirm that the cable meets requirements. Test results shall be recorded, <br />dated, compared and filed with the copy accompanying the shipping reel in a <br />weather proof envelope. Attenuation deviations from the shipping records <br />greater than 5 percent shall be brought to the attention of the Engineer in <br />writing. The cable shall not be installed until completion of this test sequence <br />and written approval by the Engineer is received. Copies of traces and test <br />results shall be submitted to the Engineer. If the OTDR test results are <br />unsatisfactory, the reel of fiber optic cable shall be considered unacceptable <br />and all records corresponding to that reel of cable shall be marked <br />accordingly. The unsatisfactory reels of cable shall be replaced with new <br />reels of cable at the Contractor's expense. The new reels of cable shall then be <br />tested to demonstrate acceptability. Copies of the test results shall be <br />submitted to the Engineer for approval. <br />d. After Cable Installation <br />After the fiber optic cable has been pulled but before breakout and <br />termination, 100 percent of all the fibers shall be tested for continuity. Test <br />results shall be recorded and dated. Any segment of cable that does not meet <br />specifications shall be replaced with a new segment, without additional <br />splices, at the Contractor's expense. The new segment of cable shall then be <br />tested to demonstrate acceptability. Copies of the test results shall be <br />submitted to the Engineer for approval. <br />e. Outdoor Splices <br />At the conclusion of splicing operations at one location, and before the closure <br />is sealed, all splices shall be tested with the OTDR, in both directions. Splice <br />segments shall be tested at 1310 nm and at 1550 nm. The mean bi-directional <br />loss of individual splice losses shall not exceed 0.2 dB. Measurement results <br />shall be recorded, dated, validated by the OTDR trace printout and filed with <br />the records of the respective cable runs. Copies of traces and test results shall <br />be submitted to the Engineer. If the OTDR test results are unsatisfactory, the <br />splice shall be unacceptable. The unsatisfactory splice shall be replaced at the <br />Contractor's expense. The new splice shall then be tested to demonstrate <br />acceptability. Copies of the test results shall be submitted to the Engineer for <br />approval. <br />f. System Verification at Completion <br />a. OTDR Testing <br />Once the passive cabling system has been installed and is ready for <br />activation, 100 percent of the fiber links shall be tested with the OTDR for <br />attenuation. Test results shall be recorded, dated, compared and filed with <br />previous copies. Copies of traces and test results shall be submitted to the <br />Engineer for approval. If the OTDR test results are unsatisfactory the link <br />505 E Central Ave <br />#B11/6/2024
