Bore Tech Utilities & Maintenance RFP 22-04-01 All cases will be sized to accommodate cable sizes that are housed in the splice case. Contractor shall include splice trays, label all fiber coming in and out of splice case, and protect each fusion splice with heat shrink protectors. We will take a photo of each splice tray and document as part of the deliverables with the test results. All photos shall be labeled with location, Time and date stamp, tech name, company, and description of the completed splices. All optical fiber termination components will meet or exceed the applicable provisions of TIA/EIA-455-13, Standard Test Procedure for Fiber -Optic Fibers, Cables, Transducers, Sensors, Connecting and Terminating Devices, and Other Fiber -Optic Components. Single -mode pigtails will be provided with factory pre-connectorized single -mode connectors of the "LC Angle -PC" type. Connectors will have maximum insertion loss of 0.5 dB or better. Connectors will have a composite barrel with a "push-pull' connection design, ceramic (zirconia) ferrule. Each connector shall be capable of 200 repeated matings with a total maximum additional increase in insertion loss after 200 matings limited to 0.30 dB. Cable termination assemblies (connectors, pigtails, and couplers) will be of the same manufacturer. The cable used for cable assemblies will be made of fiber meeting the performance requirements of these special conditions for the FIO cable being connected, except that the operating temperature shall be modified to -20°C to +70°C. Pigtails will be of simplex (one fiber) construction, in 900 m tight -buffer form, surrounded by Aramid for strength, with a connector on one end. The outer jacket will be yellow PVC with a nominal diameter of 3 mm, marked with the manufacturers identification information. All pigtails will be of adequate length for the intended connection purpose. Fiber terminations will be housed in a rack mounted or wall mounted fiber termination panel, sized appropriately for the cable size installed. All materials including fiber panel housing, pigtails, splice cassettes, trays, connector panels and all other materials required for a complete working system will be provided by us and will be included in pricing. All fiber strands will be tested once they are in their final configuration. Test documentations shall be provided to the City as part of the project deliverables. Acceptance testing shall be completed utilizing two wavelengths of 1310 and 1550nm. Acceptance testing shall utilize both OTDR and Powermeter testing. OTDR test shall be delivered to the City in both raw trace format as well as .pdf copies. Powermeter test shall be documented and delivered on a Powermeter test form. All field splicing shall have a bi-directional dB loss no greater than -.20d8. All connectors shall have a dB loss no greater than-.50dB. 12
