1.4.6
Fiber Optic Field Tests Plan
Prepare and provide technicians and test equipment for field tests of FO
media. Conduct OTDR reel tests at the job site prior to installation.
Perform OTDR and end to end tests of all installed media. Conduct tests on
single mode fiber in accordance with EIA TIA/EIA-526-7 for single mode
fiber and EIA TIA/EIA-526-14A for multi mode fiber.
1.5
DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING
Ship media to job site on factory reels or in factory cartons. Radius of
the reel drum shall not be smaller than the minimum bend radius recommended
by the manufacturer for the media. Wind cable on the reel so that
unwinding can be done without kinking the cable. Two meters of cable at
each end of the reel must be readily accessible for testing. Provide a
permanent label on each reel showing length, media, identification number,
and date of manufacture. Provide water resistant label and ink on the
labels. Apply end seals to each end of the media after testing and before
terminating to prevent moisture from entering the cable while stored at the
job site. Reels with cable shall be suitable for outside storage
conditions when temperature ranges from minus 40 degrees C to plus 65
other than FO media, delivered and placed in storage shall be stored with
protection from weather, humidity and temperature variation, dirt and dust,
