40、pabilities. 4 Optical fibre 4.1 General Single-mode optical fibre which meets the requirements of IEC 60793-2 shall be used. Fibres other than those specified above can be used, if mutually agreed between the customer and the supplier. 4.2 Attenuation 4.2.1 Attenuation coefficient The typical maximu
41、m attenuation coefficient of a cable at 1 310 nm is 0,45 dB/km and/or at 1 550 nm it is 0,30 dB/km. Particular values shall be agreed between the customer and the supplier. The attenuation coefficient shall be measured in accordance with IEC 60793-1-40. 4.2.2 Attenuation uniformity 4.2.2.1 Attenuati
42、on discontinuities The local attenuation shall not have point discontinuities in excess of 0,10 dB. The test method best suited to provide the functional requirements is in accordance with IEC 60793-1-40. 4.2.2.2 Attenuation linearity The functional requirements are under consideration. 4.3 Cut-off
43、wavelength of cabled fibre The cabled fibre cut-off wavelength cc shall be less than the operational wavelength. 4.4 Fibre colouring If the primary coated fibres are coloured for identification, the coloured coating shall be readily identifiable throughout the lifetime of the cable and shall be a re
44、asonable match to IEC 60304. If required, the colouring shall permit sufficient light to be transmitted through the primary coating to allow local light injection and detection. Alternatively, the colour may be removable. 4.5 Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) Refer to 5.5 of IEC 60794-3. Page7 EN60
45、7944:2003067-494 IE:C002 3 8 5 Cable element Generally, optical cables comprise several elements or individual constituents, depending on the cable design, which take into account the cable application, operating environment and manufacturing processes, and the need to protect the fibre during handl
46、ing and cabling. The material(s) used for a cable element shall be selected to be compatible with the other elements in contact with it. An appropriate compatibility test method shall be defined in the family or product specification. Optical elements (cable elements containing optical fibres) and e
47、ach fibre within a cable element shall be uniquely identified, for example, by colours, by a positional scheme, by markings or as specified in the product specification. Different types of optical elements are described below. 5.1 Slotted core The slotted core is either a metallic (for example, alum
48、inium alloy) or non-metallic (for example, polyethylene or polypropylene) material with a defined number of slots, with longitudinal, helical or SZ configuration along the core. One or more primary coated fibres or optical element is located in each slot which shall be filled, if necessary, with a s
49、uitable water blocking system. If metallic, it shall be electrically bonded with the other metallic elements of the cable. If non- metallic, the slotted core usually contains a central element which shall be non-metallic. In this case, there shall be adequate adhesion between the central element and the extruded core in order to obtain the required temperature
