6、Rec. ITU-T L.10 (08/2015) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU

7、T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for stu

8、dy by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a

9、collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain

10、certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express req

11、uirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Rig

12、ht. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intelle

40、cal fibres should be used as described in ITU-T G.651.1, ITU-T G.652, ITU-T G.653, ITU-T G.654, ITU-T G.655, ITU-T G.656 or ITU-T G.657. 6.1.1 Transmission characteristics The typical transmission characteristics are described for each optical fibre in its respective Recommendation. Unless specified

41、 otherwise by the users of the Recommendations, those values apply to the corresponding cabled optical fibre. 6.1.2 Fibre microbending Severe bending of an optical fibre involving local axial displacement of a few micrometres over short distances caused by localized lateral forces along its length i

42、s called microbending. This may be 4 Rec. ITU-T L.10 (08/2015) caused by manufacturing and installation strains, and also by dimensional variations of cable materials due to temperature changes during operation. Microbending can cause an increase in optical loss. In order to reduce microbending loss

43、 stress randomly applied to a fibre along its axis should be eliminated during the incorporation of the fibres into the cable, as well as during and after cable installation. 6.1.3 Fibre macrobending Macrobending is the resulting curvature of an optical fibre after cable manufacture and installatio

44、n. Macrobending can cause an increase in optical loss. The optical loss increases if the bending radius is too small. NOTE ITU-T G.657 optical fibres are optimized for reduced macrobending loss. 6.2 Mechanical characteristics 6.2.1 Bending Under the dynamic conditions encountered during installation

45、 the fibre is subjected to strain from both cable tension and bending. The strength elements in the cable and the installation bend radius must be selected to limit this combined dynamic strain. Any fibre bend radius remaining after cable installation shall be large enough to limit the macrobending

46、 loss or long-term strain limiting the lifetime of the fibre. 6.2.2 Tensile strength Optical fibre cable is subjected to short-term loading during manufacture and installation, and may be affected by continuous static loading and/or cyclic loading during operation (e.g., temperature variation). Chan

47、ges in the tension of the cable due to the variety of factors encountered during the service life of the cable can cause the differential movement of the cable components. This effect needs to be considered in the cable design. Excessive cable tensile loading increases the optical loss and may cause

48、 increased residual strain in the fibre if the cable cannot relax. To avoid this, the maximum tensile strength determined by the cable construction, especially the design of the strength member, should not be exceeded. NOTE Where a cable is subjected to permanent loading during its operational life,

49、 the fibre should preferably not experience additional strain. 6.2.3 Crush and impact The cable may be subjected to crush and impact both during installation and operational life. Crush and impact may increase the optical loss (permanently, or for the period of time during the application of the stress) and excessive stress may lead to fibre fracture. 6.2
