The global requirement for

communication and information

increases by the day. Data traffic

is growing at an explosive rate.

Transmission speeds need to

increase in line with these trends.

This calls for high performance

transmission media.The response

has been the adoption world-

wide of fiber-optic (FO) cables. These are classed according to application

as indoor, universal and outdoor cables. The latter can be further differenti-

ated into direct-burial and duct cables, aerial cables, sea and submarine

cables and also special-purpose cables.

If you need optical cables for direct burial in the ground or for placement

in cable ducts, the answer to the growing data transfer requirement is

FiberWay from Corning. For whatever applications you are planning, the

comprehensive FiberWay product range offers future-proof and flexible

solutions for high performance optical networks.

Depending on the require-

ments, we specify either standard

single-mode fibers (SSMF) conform-

ing to ITU-T G.652 or non-zero dispersion-shifted fibers (NZ-DSF) confirming

to ITU-T G.655.

Corning®SMF-28™ FiberProven Performance,Worldwide

The Standard for Performance

Corning® SMF-28™ single-mode fiber has set the standard for value

and performance in optical networks worldwide. Tried and tested around

the globe, it is widely deployed in telephony, cable television, and utility

networks for the transmission of voice, data, and video services.

Corning believes that SMF-28 fiber provides the best overall package

of optical, mechanical, and geometrical performance available today. Taking

advantage of today’s high capacity, low-cost transmission components

developed for the 1310 nm window, SMF-28 fiber features low dispersion

and is optimized for use in the 1310 nm wavelength region. SMF-28 fiber

also can be used effectively with TDM and WDM systems operating in the

1550 nm wavelength region.

Optical Fiber


13

Protection and Versatility

The mechanical and chemical properties of CPC 6 coating offer

a high degree of protection to SMF-28 fiber. Even under extreme environ-

mental conditions, neither the coating nor the glass is adversely affected

by the filling compound, water or temperature. The dual- layer UV cured

acrylic coating ensures outstanding strippability and a particularly low

sensitivity to microbending. The extremely precise application of CPC 6

coating (245 ± 5 mm) ensures that SMF-28 fiber exhibits uniform optical

characteristics during fiber coloring and fiber ribbon production processes.

Features and Benefits of SMF-28

• Is the most widely deployed fiber in the world

• Provides versatility in 1310 nm and 1550 nm applications

• Produces exceptional product consistency and reliability through OVD

manufacturing process

• Offers the industry’s best geometrical properties for low splice loss and

high splice yields


14

LEAF Optical Fiber

For Multi-Window Application

LEAF (Large Effective Area Fiber) fiber represents the latest gener-

ation of non-zero dispersion-shifted (NZ-DSF) optical fiber, outperforming

conventional NZ-DSF designs. Its low dispersion in the 1530 – 1565 nm

range makes this optical fiber ideal for transmission in high bit-rate WDM

applications over long distances requiring only a minimal amount of exter-

nal dispersion compensation.

The Large Effective Area Advantage

LEAF fiber’s large effective area design reduces the light intensity

which leads to non-linear distortion of signals in WDM transmission. These

non-linear effects include four wave mixing, self phase modulation and

cross phase modulation. LEAF fibre combines low attenuation and low

dispersion with an effective area typically 32 % larger than conventional

non-zero dispersion-shifted fiber.This allows more power to be pumped into

networks and greater distances to be spanned between regeneration sites.

Reduce Network Costs

In addition to outstanding performance, LEAF fiber also can provide

cost savings over the lifetime of a network. Systems using LEAF fiber

require fewer amplifiers and compensators than systems upgraded using

standard single-mode fiber. System upgrades can be accomplished effi-

ciently by adding wavelength channels as the data handling capacity of the

system increases.

Quality – Proven Millions of Times

LEAF fiber is manufactured using the OVD process, responsible for

greater volumes of fibre production than any other process.

Because LEAF fiber is specified beyond the requirements of inter-

national standards, better splicing is possible with lower splice loss and

higher splice yields.The CPC 6 coating provides excellent protection against

extreme environmental conditions.


15

The Next Generation

LEAF fiber can also be used in the 1565 – 1625 nm range (L-Band),

which will become ever more important in the future. In both C-Band (1530 –

1565 nm) and L-Band operation, LEAF fiber demonstrates superior trans-

mission performance over conventional NZ-DS fibres through its ability to

suppress non-linear distortions.

MetroCor Fiber

A dispersion shifted, single-mode fiber from Corning Incorpo-

rated optimized for high-speed metropolitan networks.

We use MetroCor fiber from Corning, the world’s largest manu-

facturer of optical fibers, for high-speed DWDM metropolitan networks. Its

dispersion-optimized design allows cost-effective transmission at speeds of

2.5 Gbps to 10 Gbps. This G.655 compliant, single-mode, negative disper-

sion fiber operates across the entire usable bandwidth from 1280 –1625 nm.

It is compatible with existing single-mode fibers making it ideal for trans-

mission in high-speed DWDM metro ring architectures where increased

optical path lengths can exceed the dispersion limit of standard single-

mode fiber. It allows you to reach distances in excess of 350 km using less

expensive lasers, without incurring the cost of dispersion compensation or

regeneration.

Impressive cost savings makes the difference.

MetroCor fiber offers impressive cost savings derived from the

ability to eliminate the optical to electrical to optical (O-E-O) conversions

required to overcome the dispersion limitation in standard single-mode

fiber DWDM networks. The fiber carries an optical signal longer distances,

using low-cost lasers without the need for dispersion compensation, which

reduces the amount of amplification equipment along the network path

thereby reducing costs of installing and maintaining the metro network.


16

A break in a fiber optic

cable network can result in sub-

stantial costs for the operator. To

avoid this, cables must meet high

mechanical requirements and be

resistant to environmental factors

such as extreme temperatures.

For this reason, our FiberWay duct

and buried fiber optic cables are designed to be especially robust.When the

appropriate cable is selected and it is installed correctly, the cable will retain

its optimal characteristics even when pulled into ducts or buried directly.

Fiber identification: UV coloring

All the optical fibers are colored with UV-cured acrylate color. This

is a state of art coloring that guarantees a uniformly smooth surface. For

identification of fibers in one tube a scheme of twelve colors is used:

1: blue 7: red

2: orange 8: black

3: green 9: yellow

4: brown 10: violet

5: gray 11: pink

6: white 12: turquoise

If there are more than 12 fibers in a tube, we use a fiber bundle tech-

nique, in which 12 fibers are held together with a colored binding yarn.

We can also offer cables with fiber ribbons. A special coating is used

to combine up to 24 fibers to form a fiber ribbon.

Tube identification:

The standard system for tube identification in stranded loose tube

cables is the “pilot-directional” one.The pilot tube is red, the directional one

green and all other tubes are natural colored. Other tube identification systems

according to prevailing national standards may be obtained on request.

Fiber optic duct and buriedcables: securitywith FiberWay


17

Cable design: meeting every requirement

We distinguish three basic design types:

• Stranded tube cables: cables with stranded loose buffer tubes

around a central metallic or non-metallic (dielectric) strength member

• Central tube cables: cables with a central loose buffer tube and

strength elements partly embedded into the sheath

• Slotted core cables: cables which have a central member with

longitudinal slots within which the fibers are positioned

In each case, the optical fibers which lie in the loose tubes or slots,

are not under any tension.

High degree of water protection

Should water penetrate through a damaged point in the sheath, spe-

cial fillings prevent the water from migrating along the cable. This is

achieved by the use of a gel-type filling compound, or alternatively by

a dry swellable element. The advantage of this so-called “dry” cable is its

greater ease of installation. For additional protection against moisture, we

can offer cables with a laminated aluminum sheath.

Outer protection

Here we use an outer jacket of polyethylene (PE) which is resistant

to stress cracking and UV radiation. Where there are special requirements

in buildings, with respect to flame retardants and halogens, we use our spe-

cially-developed FRNC (Flame Retardant, Non-Corrosive) material.

Non-metallic: the advantage

Our non-metallic (dielectric) cables offer you the following advantages:

• No problems with grounding or potential equalization

• No lightning protection measures are required

• Buildings can be electrically isolated


18

Rodent protection: resistance to damage

Damage due to rodents can be a problem mainly with direct buried

cables, but also when they are laid in shafts and duct systems. Protection

against rodent damage can be offered in the form of either non-metallic

armoring and protective jackets or metallic armoring. Non-metallic protec-

tion has the advantages of a dielectric cable as described above.

Non-metallic armoring includes laminated glass-fiber yarns, which

serve also as strength elements. With these, the cable remains flexible, and

its diameter increases insignificantly compared to an unarmored cable.

Greater non-metallic protection is offered by a jacket of polyamide,

the hardest plastic used for sheathing cables. However, it makes the

cable slightly larger and less flexible than when glass-fiber yarns are used

for the armoring.

Metallic armoring is considered the most effective protection

against rodent damage.

Metallic armoring: optimal security for every purpose

Where high mechanical loads are involved, as is the case in direct

buried installations, an additional metallic armoring is recommended. For

our standard products we offer corrugated steel tape under the outer jacket.

A special coating is used to bond the outer jacket to the steel tape. Where

the mechanical loads are exceptionally high, a further inner jacket can be

inserted underneath the steel tape.

Fiber optic cables need

to exhibit a wide range of char-

acteristics. Apart from the general

design features already descri-

bed, they must also exhibit suit-

able values for tensile strength,

temperature cycling and bending characteristics, together with impact and

crush resistance, appropriate for the application and environmental condi-

tions. Our FiberWay standard product families cover the entire range of

applications in a logical way.

Stranded and central loose tube designs:

• For all standard applications of cable laying with a tensile load up

to 2700 N and environments with a temperature range from –30ºC to

+70ºC.

• Cable design with loose fibers in stranded or central tubes.

• Variations: non-metallic, moisture barrier, non-metallic rodent protection,

metallic armoring with or without inner jacket

Further details see page 22

Ribbon designs:

• For all standard applications of cable laying with a tensile load

up to 2700 N and environments with a temperature range from –30ºC to

+70ºC.

• Cable design with fiber ribbons in stranded tubes, central tubes or

slotted cores.

• Variations: non-metallic, metallic armoring with or without inner

jacket

Although our FiberWay product families

are designed for a wide range of applications,

sometimes there is a need to find solutions for

special applications. In doing so, we can call on

the appropriate expertise.

Furthermore our sophisticated manufacturing technology and tailor-

made machines enable us to meet your particular specifications.

In the context of specific projects, we have implemented cables

with particularly demanding requirements in relation to tensile strength

of 25000 N and more, as well as for extreme climatic conditions with a

temperature range of – 60ºC to +70ºC.

Our designers can also cater for special values for crush and impact

resistance or bending characteristics.

The FiberWay Ribbon Cable family includes cable designs with fiber

ribbons in stranded loose tubes up to 864 fibers, in central tube cables up

to 432 fibers and slotted core cables up to 1000 fibers. With a tensile

strength of 2 700 N, these are suitable for all methods of cable laying.Their

temperature range of – 30 ºC to +70 ºC also covers almost all climatic con-

ditions throughout the world.

Our fiber ribbons are very easy to split up into individual fibers (pee-

lable), too, so that there is no problem in connecting to interfaces of existing

networks which have individual fibers. It is possible to splice up to twelve

fibers simultaneously, reducing the time necessary for splicing.

The fiber ribbons are distinguishable from each other by a count num-

ber printed on them.

The cables are tested in accordance with IEC 60793-1 and 60794-1-2.

For the transition area between the access network and a building,

such as campus cabling or the cabling in a distribution station, our

FutureLink Multi-Purpose Cables (MPC) and Campus Backbone Cable

(CBC) are particularly suitable. Their mechanical properties have been spe-

cially adapted to meet the required conditions – primarily the tensile load

during laying. Their very small diameters are achieved by the use of

Corning’s central tube design.

Where there are special requirements for zero halogen and flame

retardance, the MPC cables are fitted with an FRNC (flame-retardant and

non-corrosive) jacket.

The cables are tested in accordance with IEC 60794-1and the MPC

cables also satisfy all the necessary standards for indoor cables, such as

IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034.

Wherever cables have to be

joined, branched, distributed or ter-

minated, Corning Cable Systems

has excellent solutions to offer. This

applies to the transmission of voice

and data over both copper and opti-

cal cable networks.

The product range extends

from main distribution systems in exchanges through to closures for all

types of network to the terminal distribution box or cross-connect. This

range of products makes Corning Cable Systems one of the world’s largest

cable system providers.

Some examples from the comprehensive product range being used

by traditional telecommunication companies and carriers worldwide:

• Closures for fiber optic cables

• Fiber splicers

• Distribution systems for fiber optic cables

• Fiber optic connectors

The full range of Corning’s prod-

ucts for fiber optic networks is

presented in our catalog entitled

“Accessories for fiber optic

networks”, order no. A45050-

W3093-R7-X-7600.

For further information

about these product

groups please contact

our sales representa-

tives.

55

The closures from Corning

Cable Systems are universally deploy-

able in pressurized and unpressurized

cable networks for inline, branching

or terminating joints. They can be

installed mid-span, or on the poles of

aerial cable routes, in ducts or buried directly in the ground.

There are inline (tubular), dome and half-shell closure designs

available in different sizes to suit the various network types and levels.

All our modern closures can be opened and reclosed as often as

required without using power, consumable material or special tools. This is

achieved by the use of resilient materials in the closure sealing zones.

The cable entrances are sealed with a resilient sealing tape, silicone or heat-

shrink tubes according to the type.

Fiber management systems enable the same closure family to be

used not only for fiber optic cable links but also for copper.

For the various network architectures, such as backbone, branching

and access networks, a range of fiber management systems are available,

including single user (single circuit) requirements (for networks with highly

sensitive data traffic). Closures can accommodate in excess of 600 fibers.

Closures forfiber optic

cables


56

Corning Cable Systems

provides a family of optical

splicers designed to meet the

different requirements of the

various networks.

There is a splicer to meet

the demand for low splice losses in the long-haul network and also a

special splicer for joining single- and multimode fibers in the LAN or CATV

networks. All the splicers can process fibers with different core diameters

and a wide variety of doping profiles.

For fiber ribbons there is also a Corning Cable Systems splicer

that can process single fibers and fiber ribbons with up to 12 single fibers.

The splicing processes are monitored and controlled with the patented

LID system (a through power system) or the L-PAS system (a video analysis

system) or both at the same time. The splicing process can be performed

in each case fully automatically. On completion of splicing, the losses

obtained are displayed on the monitor and can be stored.

Apart from the splicers, of course, all the necessary tools for

stripping and cleaving the fibers are also available.

57

The demands on fiber optic

distribution in the various cable net-

works and architectures do not dif-

fer significantly from each other.

The universal requirement is for

reliability, easy servicing and modu-

larity for future expansions and

modifications.

Corning Cable Systems provides a modular distribution system

based on either ETSI or 19’’ units capable of being deployed in all WAN,

MAN and LAN networks. The modules are incorporated in suitable cabi-

nets, racks or wall-mounted enclosures. The result is a product range

extending from unwired modules through to fully prewired distribution

cabinets with up to 1296 terminals. The modules, of course, support all

the popular connector standards.

For networks with highly sensitive data traffic there are also distrib-

ution components available providing high levels of fiber management and

individual user access (the systems employed in Corning Cable Systems

closures).

Distributionsystems forfiber optic

cables


58

Fiber-optic connectors form the

interface between cable and transmis-

sion equipment and provide for termina-

tion and distribution in cable systems.

Unlike fusion splices, fiber optic connec-

tors offer a simple and effective method of connecting and reconnecting

fibers.They comprise of two plugs that are joined together by an adapter.

The critical factors are the insertion loss and the return loss. These factors

are determined by the type and quality of the fiber end face as well as by

the method of installation.

We offer both

• Field Mountable Connectors

• Factory Installed Connectors on single fiber and multi fiber cable.

These industry standard connector types meet the most exacting

of our customer specifications.

Total solutions are becoming

ever more important for communica-

tion networks. Of particular impor-

tance in this context are solutions for

local networks (LANs) for use on cus-

tomer premises, and in the carrier area

(e.g. telecommunication, CATV IP net-

works) because the future lies in the

integration of speech, image and data.

At the same time, as world-spanning information infrastructure

grows, also the quality requirements to be met by networked communica-

tion solutions are growing. This demands knowledge – knowledge that we

can pass on to you.

No-one can do everything – but everything can be learned

Techniques and products are subject to constant change.This makes

it essential to have staff trained to the highest levels, who know how to

utilize technical progress to your advantage. This can only be achieved by

continuous training.

Knowledge is precious – which is why we pass it on

As a leading manufacturer of communication cables and networks

we are working with our customers to build communication bridges for the

21st century.

We realize that the planning, installation and maintenance of cable

systems involves comprehensive knowledge – something we want to

share with you as part of a genuine partnership.

Training:expertisefor your

personnel


60

We do the training – you get the profit

Our worldwide knowledge in cable and network technology is

channeled into our Training Center. On the basis of this knowledge, we

develop diverse seminars for your staff.

Our training is aimed at all those who set up or operate carrier

or customer premise cable networks.

By undertaking training before starting on a project you will avoid

costly installation errors, and will put in place a critical prerequisite for the

successful implementation of your project.

Practical orientation, not theoretical dreams

The balance is critical: theory is necessary, but practicality dictates

what must be done. From their many years of practical experience, our

trainers know which knowledge and skills are required for each task, and

they are in constant contact with development, sales and projects

engineering at Corning Cable Systems.

For the selection of the

cable type the environmental

conditions for installation are

very important. Principly a dif-

ference is made between laying in ducts and direct burial.

Laying in ducts: Protection by tubes

Laying one or more duct cables in protective ducts, and variants

such as

• multiple duct systems made of HD PE

• 2/3/5-way multi duct systems made of PVC 100

• pre-inserted ducts

• concrete channels

provides a good mechanical protection of the cable.

Depending on location and size of the duct and the possibility

for sealing it, there is often danger of damage by rodents. By using proper

non-metallic or metallic rodent protection this can be prevented (see also

p.18 rodent protection).

Methods ofcable laying


63

Pulling-in or blowing-in

The classical method for pulling-in a cable is to use a cable grip and

a pull-off-resistant capping.Therefore the tensile load on the cable could be

up to 2700 N. An alternative technique is the blowing-in method.

The cable will be inserted with the aid of compressed air and a

lubricant.This substantially reduces the tensile load required (up to 1000 N).

A distinction is made between blowing-in with and without a piston. With

the pistonfree version, the cable can be designed with less tensile strength

because in this case, depending on this process used, higher tensile load

due to a re-pulling-in with a pulling rope cannot arise.


64

Direct burial:Protection by metallic armoring

In a typical cable trench the cable is laid in a sand bed. However not

all ground locations will support this. Using a metallic armoring (see also

p. 18 metallic armoring) will protect our buried cables against stones and

other mechanical loads.

Laying-in, pulling-in or plowing-in

• Laying-in means the cable is laid alongside the trench and lifted in over the

edge of the trench.

• Pulling-in means the cable is pulled into the trench lengthwise, over

rollers.

• Plowing-in means using a special plow. This digs a trench and in one

operation the cable is pulled in and the trench is refilled.

All 3 methods work with a tensile load of up to 2700 N.

Types of drum lagging

For shipping by plane or ship we use as a standard

protection a complete wooden lagging.

Lamiflex lagging is an alternative for shipping in containers

directly to the customer or when the drums must be stored

for a while on an unprotected area.

The type of lagging is decided on a case by case basis

and can be in accordance with national standards.
