The cable shall be designe
28、d and manufactured for an expected operating lifetime of at least 15 years. In this context, the attenuation of the installed cable at the operational wavelength(s) shall not exceed values agreed between customer and supplier. The materials in the cable shall not present a health hazard within its i
29、ntended use. There shall be no fibre splice in a delivery length unless otherwise agreed by customer and supplier. It shall be possible to identify each individual fibre throughout the length of the cable. 3.2 Optical fibres Multimode category A4a through A4g optical fibres shall be used that meet t
30、he requirements of IEC 60793-2-40. 3.3 Buffer The buffer, if any, shall consist of one or more layers of inert material. For tight buffer, the buffer shall be easily removable in one operation over a length of 15 mm to 25 mm, depending on customer requirements. For semi-tight buffers, the buffer sha
31、ll be easily removable over a length of 0,2 m to 2,0 m. 3.4 Ruggedized fibre Further protection can be provided to buffered fibres by surrounding one or two with non-metallic strength members within a sheath of suitable material. 3.5 Tube One or two identified primary coated or buffered fibres may b
32、e packaged (loosely or not) in a tube construction, which may be filled. The tube may be reinforced with a composite wall. If required, the suitability of the tube shall be determined by an evaluation of its kink resistance in accordance with IEC 60794-1-2, Method G7. 5 BS EN 60794-2-42:20083.6 Stre
33、ngth and anti-buckling members The cable shall be designed with sufficient strength members to meet installation and service conditions thus enabling fibres not to be subjected to strain in excess of limits in 4.2.1. The strength and/or anti-buckling member may be located in the cable core and/or un
34、der the sheath and/or in the sheath. 3.7 Sheath The cable shall have an overall protective sheath. The cable diameter shall be specified by agreement between customer and supplier. 3.8 Sheath marking If required, the cable shall be marked as agreed between the customer and supplier. 3.9 Examples of
35、cable constructions Examples of some main types of cable construction are shown in Figures A.1 to A.8. Other configurations are not excluded if they meet the mechanical, environmental and transmission requirements given in this specification. 4 Tests 4.1 General Compliance with specification require
36、ments shall be verified by carrying out tests selected from the following subclauses. It is not intended that all tests shall be performed. The frequency of testing shall be agreed between customer and supplier. Unless otherwise specified, all tests shall be carried out at ambient temperature. 4.2 D
37、imensions The fibre dimensions and tolerances shall be checked in accordance with test method IEC 60793-1-20 or IEC 60793-1-21. The diameter of the buffer and of the cable, as well as the thickness of the sheath, shall be measured in accordance with the methods of IEC 60189-1. 4.3 Mechanical require
38、ments 4.3.1 General Some of the following tests can be performed on a short sample length of cable that is still an integral part of a longer length. Thus it becomes possible to detect permanent changes in attenuation. Launch conditions to measure changes in attenuation shall be in conformity with I
