7、 G.657 Characteristics of a bending-loss insensitive single-mode optical fibre and cable for the access network Summary Worldwide, technologies for broadband access networks are advancing rapidly. Among these, the technology applying single-mode fibre provides for a high-capacity transmission medium
8、 which can answer the growing demand for broadband services. The experience with the installation and operation of single-mode fibre and cable-based networks is huge, and Recommendation ITU-T G.652 which describes its characteristics has been adapted to this experience. Nevertheless, the specific us
9、e in an optical access network puts different demands on the fibre and cable which impacts its optimal performance characteristics. Differences with respect to the use in the general transport network are mainly due to the high density network of distribution and drop cables in the access network. T
10、he limited space and the many manipulations ask for operator-friendly fibre performance and low bending sensitivity. In addition, the cabling in the crowded telecom offices where space is a limiting factor has to be improved accordingly. It is the aim of Recommendation ITU-T G.657 to support this op
11、timization by recommending strongly improved bending performance compared with the existing ITU-T G.652 single-mode fibre and cables. This is done by means of two categories of single-mode fibres, one of which, category A, is fully compliant with the ITU-T G.652 single-mode fibres and can be deploye
12、d throughout the access network. The other, category B, is not necessarily compliant with Recommendation ITU-T G.652 but is capable of low values of macrobending losses at very low bend radii and is intended for use inside buildings or near buildings (e.g., outside building riser cabling). These cat
13、egory B fibres are system compatible with ITU-T G.657.A (and ITU-T G.652.D) fibres in access networks. This third edition of Recommendation ITU-T G.657 includes several modifications in particular concerning category B fibres. Also the new Appendix I (agreed in 2010 and published as Amendment 1 (06/
14、2010) has been introduced with revisions.

The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff quest
16、ions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations
17、 on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, t

However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or a

27、sion medium which can answer the growing demand for broadband services. The experience with the installation and operation of single-mode fibre and cable-based networks is huge, and Recommendation ITU-T G.652 which describes its characteristics has been adapted to this experience. Nevertheless, the
28、specific use in an optical access network puts different demands on the fibre and cable. Due to dense distribution and drop-cable network, limited space and the many manipulations in this part of the network, fibre and cable requirements may be optimized differently from their use in a general trans
29、port network. It is the aim of this Recommendation to support this optimization by recommending different attribute values for the existing ITU-T G.652 single-mode fibre and cables and by recommending other categories of single-mode fibre types. As for the network structures in which the single-mode
30、 optical fibre cable is used, users are referred to the extensive information that is available in the references listed in the bibliography. Rec. ITU-T G.657 (10/2012) 1 Recommendation ITU-T G.657 Characteristics of a bending-loss insensitive single-mode optical fibre and cable for the access netwo
31、rk 1 Scope This Recommendation describes two categories of single-mode optical fibre cable which are suitable for use in access networks, including inside buildings at the end of these networks. Both categories A and B contain two subcategories which differ in macrobending loss. Category A fibres ar
32、e optimized for reduced macrobending loss and tighter dimensional specifications compared to ITU-T G.652.D fibres and can be deployed throughout the access network. These fibres are suitable to be used in the O, E, S, C and L-band (i.e., throughout the 1260 to 1625 nm range). Fibres and requirements
33、 in this category are a subset of ITU-T G.652.D and therefore compliant1with ITU-T G.652.D fibres and have the same transmission and interconnection properties. Subcategory ITU-T G.657.A1 fibres are appropriate for a minimum design radius of 10 mm. Subcategory ITU-T G.657.A2 fibres are appropriate f
34、or a minimum design radius of 7.5 mm. Category B fibres are optimized for further reduced macrobending loss and therefore are capable of being used at very low values of bend radius. These fibres are for short reach distances (less than 1000 m) at the end of access networks, in particular inside bui
35、ldings or near buildings (e.g., outside building riser cabling). The application length of ITU-T G.657.B fibre depends on the deployment strategy of each network operator. These fibres are suitable for use in the O, E, S, C and L-band (i.e., throughout the 1260 to 1625 nm range). Category B fibres a
36、re not necessarily compliant with ITU-T G.652.D in terms of chromatic dispersion coefficient and PMD specifications. These fibres however, are system compatible2with ITU-T G.657.A (and ITU-T G.652.D) fibres in access networks. Subcategory ITU-T G.657.B2 fibres are appropriate for a minimum design ra
37、dius of 7.5 mm. Subcategory ITU-T G.657.B3 fibres are appropriate for a minimum design radius of 5 mm. The meaning of the terms used in this Recommendation and the guidelines to be followed in the measurement to verify the various characteristics are given in ITU-T G.650.1 and ITU-T G.650.2. The cha
38、racteristics of these fibre categories, including the definitions of the relevant parameters, their test methods and relevant values, will be refined as studies and experience progress. _ 1Compliance here means adherence to the referenced Recommendation (ITU-T G.652, category D) meeting or exceeding
39、 the values of the specified attributes. 2Compatibility means here that the product in this category will introduce negligible system impairment or deployment issues but may not be compliant to the referenced Recommendation (ITU-T G.652, category D). 2 Rec.

46、zation Mode Dispersion 5 Fibre attributes The optical fibre characteristics that provide the essential design framework for fibre manufacture, system design and use in outside plant networks are recommended in ITU-T G.652. In this clause, the emphasis is on attributes that optimize the fibre and cab
47、le for its use in broadband optical access networks, especially its improved macrobending behaviour which supports small volume fibre managements systems and low radius mounting in telecom offices and customer premises in apartment buildings and single dwelling houses. Also, for completeness, those
48、characteristics of the fibre that provide a minimum essential design framework for fibre manufacture are recommended in this clause. Ranges or limits on values are presented in the tables of clause 7. Of these, cable manufacture or installation may significantly affect the cabled fibre cut-off wavel
