This 2 or 4 fibre, non-metallic, unfilled, tight buffered, SMOF (i.e. G652D), external type cable, with a polyethylene sheath and outer nylon jacket, FRP strength member and plastic fillers, is used to connect remote telecommunication housings ( e.g. RIM) to an optical fibre cable from an Exchange. The cable is Ø12mm, has a tensile strength of 800 N, and an allowable MBR of 10 x “d”, where “d” is the diameter of the cable. Supplied length is “L” m. One end is fitted with A/SC Grade “A” connectors, on a 1m breakout length of cord.
Each connector is coloured green, and has a green shroud (boot) fitted between the connector and individual cords. The included end angle of the connectors ferrule shall be 8° when measured between a central vertical line and the end of the connectors ferrule end face. The connector is manufactured to recognized and approved industry standards, and will achieve a 20 year service lifetime, under typical operational conditions. Each connector assembly is capable of a reasonable number (e.g. 500) of matings/unmatings, and of withstanding normal (not excessive) operational handling forces/loads without suffering any damage or significant increase in optical performance. The complete assembly will operate reliably in Exchanges or Repeaters over the temperature range of -20° to + 70° Celsius and up to high levels of RH.
