ITU-T L.110 (08/2017) 5 Conventions None. 6 Concept/image of optical fibre cables for direct surface application ITU-T L.1700 identifies affordability with best-effort reliability as the priority requirements for rural and remote area communication networks in developing countries. Sustai

47、nability requires environmental consciousness and reliability/recoverability. A cable is installed directly on the surface of the ground when it is difficult to prepare conventional infrastructures, such as trench, duct, pipe or pole installations. The cable should be designed for easy handling and

48、should be robust enough to be installed using affordable installation techniques. If such a cable requires manual installation including shallow burying, submerging or short-length aerial wiring, installation should be by using simple tools such as handy picks, with no heavy machinery. Since a lengt

49、h of cable exposed on the ground surface could later be covered by the soil, sand, snow or flood water, and may exceptionally need to be suspended in the air to cross a river, valley or road, it should withstand shallow burying, submerging, or short-length aerial wiring. The cable must, therefore, be robust against disturbances such as crush, biotic attacks, floods, high/low temperatures, st
