Appendix IV Low friction indoor cable and wiring (Japanese experience) (This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) IV.1 Introduction

17、Low friction indoor cable is widely used for multi dwelling unit (MDU) wiring in Japan. Clauses IV.2 to IV.5 describe the fibre to the home (FTTH) configuration for MDUs, problems of conventional wiring and their solution in Japan. IV.2 Configuration of FTTH for MDUs The basic configuration of the o

18、ptical access network in Japan is shown in Figure IV.1. Two types of topology are employed according to the type of user, namely passive double star or single star topology. (1) For home users, a 4-branch optical splitter module part (SP) is installed in the central office and an 8-branch SP is inst

19、alled on the user side. (2) By contrast, a 32-branch SP (or a combination of one 4-branch SP and four 8-branch SPs) is installed in MDU units such as apartment houses, condominiums and office buildings. As a result, 32 users share an optical line terminal (OLT), and 32 users share a fibre. A configu

20、ration consisting of the single star topology with a media converter is widely used to provide MDUs with FTTH services. For a medium-sized MDU, SPs are installed in a main distribution frame (MDF) and effective wiring approaches involve using a star configuration from an SP installed in an MDF to ea

21、ch unit according to demand as shown in Figure IV.2. This approach makes it easy to manage such operations as a change of service. 2 Rec.

Moreover, conduits have a small diameter and there are no free conduits. Existing copper cable with a diameter of more than 10 mm is usuall

24、y installed in conduits. However, cable installation is difficult when a conduit is curved, because the cable diameter is large. If optical indoor cable for each unit is required, additional conduits and cabinet boxes would have to be installed due to the lack of space, and this would be both time c

25、onsuming and costly. To expand FTTH to existing MDUs, it was necessary to develop effective wiring techniques for using the free space in existing conduits and the confined space of an MDF. Rec.

28、Insert a lead wire into a conduit and connect a cable to its head. 2) Pull the lead wire to install the cable and then disconnect it. If a conventional cable is installed with existing copper cables, strong traction-tension is needed to pull it, because of the friction drag imposed by the cable surf

29、ace. When there are several conventional cables, the traction-tension limit means that installation is impracticable. Volatility is high even though a lubricant is applied to the surface of the cable to reduce friction to facilitate cable installation. Moreover, existing cables may be dragged along

30、during installation. In fact, careful attention must be paid to cable installation and removal from a conduit when troubleshooting.

32、able bending rigidity Resistance to buckling when pushing and flexibility for passing through bent parts of the conduit IV.5.2 Design Figure IV.5 shows the small size, low friction and appropriately rigid indoor cable (hereinafter, low friction cable) and Figure IV.6 shows an example of the test met

33、hod setup for the measurement of friction coefficient. The size of its cross-section is about half of that of conventional cable. The friction coefficient is less than 0.25, which is about one-fifth of that of conventional cable. Bending rigidity of low friction cable is about double that of convent

34、ional cable. The friction coefficient of low friction cable is much lower than that of conventional cable to which lubricant has been applied. Furthermore, the friction coefficient of the low friction cable is maintained over time. In addition, the required cable characteristics, which are the same

35、as those of conventional cable, are realized. Figure IV.5 Low friction cable Figure IV.6 Test method setup for the measurement of friction coefficient IV.5.3 Effect of low friction indoor cable The difference in the numbers of conventional and low fiction cable that can be installed is shown in Tabl

36、e IV.1. Three times as many low friction cables can be installed in the space of conventional Rec. ITU-T L.59 (2008)/Amd.1 (07/2015) 5 cables. Thirty low friction cables can be installed in an existing 22 mm conduit with an 8.6 mm copper cable as shown in Figure IV.5. Table IV.1 Numbers of installed

37、 conventional vs. low friction cables Diameter of conduit 16 mm 22 mm 28 mm Conventional cable 4 8 15 Low friction cable 12 30 over 35 NOTE 1 Conventional cable: installed without lubricant. NOTE 2 Copper cable, diameter of 8.6 mm, is already installed. The low friction reduces the pulling tension a

38、nd shortens the installation time. Figure IV.7 presents a comparison of pulling tension and installation time of the low friction cables vs. conventional cables. It is possible to pull the cable with about one-tenth of the usual tension, and also the installation time becomes about one-fifth of the

39、conventional installation time. Additionally, it is possible to remove the low friction cables without disturbing the existing cables, because the low friction characteristics remain. A new installation method is also established that involves pushing the cable into a conduit rather than using a pul

40、ling wire. Figure IV.7 shows that the installation time is reduced by about one-third compared with the conventional method, when the conduit condition is good. This is because the conventional method requires two steps, whereas the new insertion method requires only one. In addition, the pushing me

41、thod may make it possible to insert a cable into a conduit that has sustained damage, such as a dented portion that is preventing the insertion of a new cable. There are cases where it is impossible to insert a new cable into an existing conduit with the conventional method. However, it is possible

42、with the new method.
