42、and cabled to satisfy the functional requirements of the installation environment. For duct installation, the environment and infrastructure can be varied and may also involve the use of single and multiple subducts. Directly buried cables may be installed by a variety of methods such as ploughing,
43、trenching and moling with different environments and infrastructure. This may involve specific cable design solutions based on either light, medium or heavy armouring. It is recognised that certain designs of cable for direct buried applications involving light armour may also be suitable for duct i
44、nstallation. The functional requirements and test methods featured in this specification are based upon adherence to established and recognised instal- lation techniques such as those highlighted in the informative annex C (Guide to the installation of optical fibre cable) of EN 60794-1-1. 4.1 Gener
45、al cable description 4.1.1 Characteristics of optical fibre Single mode optical fibres are classified according to their operational wavelength and dispersion characteristics. The fibres covered by this specification are categorised as type B and described in IEC 60793-1-1. The predominant fibre typ
46、es featured in this specification include, dispersion unshifted (B1.1, B1.3), dispersion shifted (B2) and non-zero dispersion (B4). Unless otherwise specified, requirements of applicable European single mode fibre standards (EN 188000, EN 188100, EN 188101 and EN 188102) have to be used in this stan
47、dard. Optical fibres are inherently robust and strong, but the strength can be drastically reduced due to the combination of environmental conditions, unavoidable microscopic surface flaws introduced during fibre manufacture and stresses imposed on the fibre during handling, cabling and installation
48、. The strength degradation can be as a result of dynamic or static fatigue as well as through ageing with no stress component. Dynamic fatigue is more likely to occur during installation whilst static fatigue could occur over the lifetime of the fibre arising from residual strain in the cable or wit
49、hin coiled fibre housed in a splice enclosure or footway box. The attenuation of cabled fibre could also increase during its lifetime if the fibre is not suitably protected from mechanical stresses and environmental hazards or if inappropriate and incompatible materials are used in the cable construction. The recommended cable design features, test parameters and requirements outlined in this
