Each buffer tube, as well as the core interstices, shall be flooded with a filling compound to minimize water entry and migration. The compoundshall be stable, moisture resistant, non-toxic, electrically non-conducting and compatible with all other cable components. Nofibre splices are allowed in a length of completed cable. FO Cables shall be given buckle resistance by a glass reinforced plastic (GRP) rod or equivalent, through the center of the cable. An Aramid wrap and/or E-glass yarn and polyester tape around the buffer tubes providestensile strength. The inner and outer sheath material shall be LSZH Flame Retardant compound. Wherever required, the FO cable design shall also befire resistant to IEC 60331. All outdoor FO cables shall have a twisted steel wire armour in addition to the dual jacketing structure. The cable shall be designed sothat the fibers will not be stressed whenthe cableis installed with a minimum bending radius of 25 cm. Fibre Optic Cable shall have fibre colours and buffer tube colours in accordance with EIA/TIA-598. 11.2 Direct Burial Fibre-Optic Cables In addition to the requirements above, fibre-optic cables intended for direct burial shall have a secondary lead sheath, or equivalent multi-layer sheath. 11.2.1 Lead Sheath / Multi-layer Sheath The lead sheath or multilayer sheath shall provide a barrier against moisture, chemicals, water, solvents, environment and hydrocarbonoil attacks. All onshore underground buried cables shall be provided with Lead Sheath as a moisture and chemical barrier in accordance with BS EN 50288 and shall comply to EEMUA 133 for lead quality. Alternatively, Aluminum/high density polyethylene/polyamide (AL/HDPE/PA) multi-layer inner sheath can be acceptable subject to COMPANYprior approval. VENDORshall provide ‘Type Test’ certificates, from a test house acceptable to COMPANY,for AL/HDPE/PA multi-layer inner sheath cables to validate degree of ingress protection against water, organic and non-organic chemicals. 11.2.2 Bedding Layer The bedding layer shall be provided between lead sheath and armour for underground cables. The material of construction for the bedding layer shall be same asthat of the inner sheath material. 11.2.3 Steel Wire Armour Armored cable shall have Galvanized Steel Wire Armour under outer sheath. The galvanized steel wire armour shall comply to requirements of EN 10257-1 and, EN 10218-1. The coating of steel wire shall comply with the requirements of EN 10244-2. 11.2.4 Outer Sheath Outer sheath material shall be minimum PVCorbetter and comply with this specification requirements. Outer sheath shall be Low Smoke Zero Halogen Flame Retardant Compound. Outer sheath shall be Document No: AGES-SP-04-006 Rev. No: 1 Page 30 of 148
