 The cable trays are installed.
 Site access for cables drums delivery.
 Temporary site storage area (drums, jacks, pulling device,..).
 No parallel works in the pulling area. Special attention to potential activity above the area.
 When applicable Traffic Management specific procedure is approved and available on site.
 Installation and cable routing stamped AFC drawings/ documents should be available on site
and kept at easily accessible point.
 Approved Method statement should be available at site kept at easily accessible point.
Note :
Based on reference documents, the Site Supervisor / Foreman will issue a detailed material request
few working days prior expected delivery date (more information in document [A05]).
The list is submitted to the Storekeeper to prepare the shipment for site delivery.
6.2 PREPARATION OF THE AREAS FOR THE CABLE DRUMS HANDLING

 Clearance of area(s) to be used during handling operations.
 Demarcation and protection by means of temporary tape barriers of the area around the
material handling location.
Note :
Standby all needed tools to receive materials.
6.3 SITE DELIVERY

Cables and drums should be checked upon receipt for any type of damage. Deliveries should be
checked, based on the Site Supervisor / Foreman material request. Missing or damaged items
should be re-ordered by the Site Supervisor / Foreman.
The cables should not be unpacked until pulling.
The delivery can be done using the rail / road truck (figure 01), or using traffic road underneath the
viaduct, the drums are then hoisted on the viaduct level using a crane (figure 02).
Page 12 of 78
Figure 01 – Rail / road drums delivery Figure 02 – Traffic road drums delivery
6.4 HANDLING AND STORAGE OF CABLE DRUMS

To avoid personal injury or damage to the cable and reels, follow guidelines below on handling and
storage of cable upon receipt at the job site.
 Do not allow the reels to drop from the delivery truck during the unloading process (figure 3).
 When a forklift is used, the forks must support both reel flanges (figure 4).
YES
NO
Figure 03 – Drop from truck strictly forbidden Figure 04 – Forks support both reel flanges
Page 13 of 78
 Reels can be hoisted by lifting on a metal shaft of sufficient size and strength placed through
the center hole of the reel.
 Handling with a crane should be performed with a lifting rod crossing the drum centre, lifted from
both ends by two slings; it must have equal length of rod out of the drum on each side (figure 5).
PROHIBITED GOOD
Figure 05 – It is absolutely prohibited to put the slings on the battens.
YES
 Handling equipment must not come in contact with the cable.

 For short distances and for small or middle-sized sections, reels should only be rolled in the
direction shown (Drum may be marked with a directional arrow and phrase such as "Roll This
Way" to indicate the proper direction to roll it) or in the direction opposite to the direction that the
cable is wrapped on the reel. Rolling drums in the wrong direction can cause the cable to become
loosen on the reel, which may cause problems during cable reeling out in installation.
 Do not allow reels to roll uncontrolled as they may roll into or over objects, damaging the cable or
causing personal injury. When rolling drums down inclines, the incline should be as gradual as
possible and control of the drum must be maintained.
 For safety reasons, the cable drum must be blocked with shims after handling (figure 6).
Page 14 of 78
Figure 06 – Shims in both or needed side.
A special care must be taken when choosing a location for cable storage. Select an area where the cable
will be protected from falling objects, excessive heat, or chemicals, etc., resulting in potential damage.
Cable drums should be stored on a dry surface. Store the drums on a flat area and avoid any roughness
of the surface likely to damage the battens (refer to manufacturer data sheet for more information [A06]).
Cable drums must be placed in a vertical position and never laid on flange.
6.5 AREA PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

Work area should be checked for hazard frees and be corrected if required all along the path.
Internal part of the ducts / trays / ladders must be carefully cleaned before pulling, so that no
pebbles or sharp objects might damage the cables. The cable pits should be free of debris, clean
and dry.
The temporary opening protection should be kept until installation.
The cable ducts / trays / ladders must never be used as a walkway.
6.6 PREPARATION FOR THE CABLE PULLING

 The Site Supervisor should establish that the environmental conditions within the routes and
the installation methods to be used are suitable for the cable to be installed:
 Installation of the cable pulling devices.
 To verify the cable pulling accessories
 Drawings and erection standards to be checked (particularly the drum number allocation with
the cable list)
 Access to the selected stations granted for cable pulling and cleared.
 To check if the cable gutters (covers removed) / ducts and cableways underneath of the
station platform are obstruction free.
 Installation of the cable rollers where required (figure 7).
 Ensure that all necessary guards, protective structures and warning signs are used to
provide a safe and secure working site.
Figure 07 – Type of Cable rollers can be used.
Page 15 of 78
6.7 SELECTION OF CABLE DRUM LOCATION
 Nearest possible to one of the cable ends.
 Place the cable drum(s) in an accessible zone.
 Do not unwind cable near installations in operation.
6.8 CABLE DRUM SETUP

 Use a pair (or more while several cables are pulled in parallel) of appropriates jack stands: they
comprise screw cylinders or hydraulic control horses (figure 8).
Figure 08 – Drum mounted on Jack stand
 The crossbar chosen must withstand the weight of the cable drum (from 3 T to 6 T).
 Lubricate between axis and cylinder when needed.
 Remove protection (wooden battens) very carefully. This must be done near the place where
cable laying is going to be performed. Pull out nails with a nail catcher. Pick nails fallen on
the ground to avoid injuries to persons and vehicle tyre puncture.
 Particular care should be taken regarding the cable insulating sheath protection to avoid
damage.
6.9 PULLING THE CABLE

 Mark the cables with an identification label before installation (retracing and routing at
termination points will be easy).
 The label can be written down on the cable jacket with a suitable pen or marker. Once the
cable is pulled and formed into the panel or outlet the label must be placed at each end.
 Use 2 persons (or more if required) to reel out cables (figure 9):
o 1 person (or more) to pull the cable in.
o 1 person to act as a break on the drum to avoid damaging the cable due to overrun
of the reel.
Page 16 of 78
Figure 09 – Reel out the Cables
Conventional and Mechanised processes:

Generally used for small cables or short length link:
 Arrange men all along the cable path so that the cable shall be carried (it must never be
drawn on the ground).
 A man or suitable rollers shall be placed at each level or direction change.
 These rollers should be properly spaced dependent on the size and weight of the cable to
prevent the cable from sagging and dragging during the pull (figure 10).
 When required (For locations like depots, pulling pits shall be needed at turning points when
the distance between source and the connecting point is more), the cable must be drawn
outside of the cable duct / tray / ladder (figure 11).
 Once the cable is pulled, the cable must be:
o Attached with tie in clover formation.
o Removed from the rollers and laid in the cable tray.
 Do not allow the cables to drop in the cable duct / tray / ladder as this may damage the cable
and/or the cable duct / tray / ladder.
 Special care must be taken at cable first penetration into cable conduits (figure 12).
Figure 10 – Rollers Figure 11 – Cable drawn outside
Page 17 of 78
Figure 12 – Cable first penetration
Partly mechanised process:
Due to the length of some cable pulls and the cable weight (or conduit pathway) a great deal of
force can be required and a cable-pulling winch with traction force limitation device must be used in
addition to pulling team (refer to manufacturer data sheet for more information [A06]).
A fish-tape is used to pull the winch wire through the conduit. It can be done manually or via
pressurized air method using foam rat or ball attached to a pull string (figure 13).
Step 1- pull the fish-tape
Step 2 – pull the winch wire
Step 3 – cable pulling
Figure 13 – Steps of mechanised pulling process.
When pulling cables: respect minimum bending radius and maximum pulling forces for the cables
(refer to manufacturer data sheet for more information [A06]).
Page 18 of 78
Cables will require a wire mesh grip and/or pulling eye to be attached to the leading end of the cable
core(s) (figure 11).
Figure 14 – Clamp Pulling Grip & Pulling Eye.
Whenever it is required to pull 3 single cores of HV cables through the same pipe duct, appropriate
clamp pulling grip will be used. All cables will be pulled at the same time.
Where pulling attachments are used on the conductors, cover them with rubber-like or plastic tapes
to prevent scoring of the cable ducts / trays / ladders and installation sheaves during a cable pull.
The reel will generally be placed on reel jacks with an axle of sufficient size and strength to allow
the reel to turn freely with a minimum of friction.
Communications (talkie-walkies or similar) should be established between the pulling end of the run
and the reel end of the run.
The cable should be pulled at a constant speed during the pull.
Note: As per supplier documentation (M3-TSY-EDS-POSML-D40-000001), the cable is
manufactured to hold up to 90 degrees temperature, therefore, it will not be affected by the high
temperature that Riyadh region is usually exposed to in certain times. Moreover, in most of the
times, where the temperature is exceedinig the bareable limit, the external cable pulling activity will
be carried out in the early morning or at night in order to avoid bad temperature effects on the
cables and pulling procedure.
6.10 PULLING THE MV CABLE USING RAIL ROAD VEHICLE

Pulling of MV cables in MV ducts along the track side is carried using a Rail Road Vehicle. Please
refer to Document no. (M3-TSY-MST-POSML-Y10-000001-AA_Method Statement for MV Cable
Pulling using Road Rail Vehicle) for more details.
6.11 MV CABLE JUNCTION

When cable length between 2 substations (or 2 switching devices) is above cable drum maximum
capacity, it will be required to install cable junction box.
Those MV cable links are manufactured with special MV junction kit.
Page 19 of 78
When heat shrink material is necessary to fabricate those junctions, a heating device is required.
When a gas heating device will be used appropriate EHS document will be issued (i.e. hot work
permit, fire permit).
Operation has to be done imperatively by a workers cerfified by the junction kit supplier.
Proposed cable jointers qualifications will be submitted prior to work commencing on site
For Mv, through joints will not be allowed in feeder cables where adequate manufacturer's lengths
are available. Where a joint is necessary, it has to be made inside boxes, handholes or manholes
For Mv, Sample site constructed cable terminations and throughjoints are to be submitted prior to
commencing work on site. Samples are to be constructed in the presence of the Engineer and are
to be available for test and inspection in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation
6.12 CABLE END PROTECTION
During cable pulling, when cables are not properly terminated, cable ends must be protected from
dust or water using provisional end caps.
Plastic end covers are recommended for use both in open air and on underground power
distribution cables with PVC, lead or XLPE sheaths, aluminium or steel armoured. As a result,
plastic end covers on every non-terminated end will be utilized to protect the cable from dust or
water
6.13 CABLES FASTENING

Proper cable clamping should be done with nonmagnetic collars, non-metallic straps or plastic
collars on all length of cable trays according to mounting standard. Distances between clamps will
be as the below figure:
Page 20 of 78
6.14 CABLES BENDING RADIUS
The maximum permissible bending radius for any cable shall not exceed the value mentioned in the
supplier data sheet and recommendation. Below is an example of the maximum bending radius for
2 types of cables. For all the other cable, please check the respective data sheet for each.
- 1.4m for MV cable 1×300 Cu/XLPE/CW/LSHF-FR

6.15 CABLES IDENTIFICATIONS

Cable labels must be installed at each end according to approved "cable marking principle" and as
per the specification 16050
Nevertheless, a provisory label could be installed at this stage of the work; definitive labels being
installed when the connections are made.
Tags should be provided to identify cable or circuit number and conductor size in accordance with
the Schedules

6.16 LV CABLES & WIRES TERMINATION
Definitions:
Crimping is joining two pieces of metal (special connector) or other ductile material (usually a wire
and a metal plate) by deforming one or both of them to hold the other. The bend or deformity is
called the crimp.
Crimping is done under special a process, which results cannot be directly checked by a
nondestructive test, after its achievement. The consequences of a special Process application
failure will appear during the product life.
Crimping quality can and must be checked visually after the crimping process.
Certification of tool (prior to the crimping) is also part of the quality test.
Crimping Key Elements:

1) Wire/Cable (Conductor)
2) Terminal (Contact)
3) Crimping tools
4) Other accessories
List of Material Tools:
The material, tools and other accessories required related to Crimping process is as listed
in table below:

Description of Tools:
Cutting Tools
Hand Cutter:
The use of hand strippers is a common method for wire preparation for low volumes or field repairs.
Select the suitable cutter according to the wire/cable type (copper or aluminum, solid or stranded,
etc.) and section.
Most common hand strippers are:
Stripping Tools
Hand Strippers, or Operator Assisted Semi-Automatic/Automatic Strippers are used to remove
insulation from the ends of the wire.
Hand Strippers
The use of hand strippers is a common method for wire preparation for low volumes or field repairs.
Many of the mechanical strippers used in wire preparation have sharp edges and should be
handled‎carefully.‎In‎addition,‎it’s‎important‎to‎avoid‎contact with the heating element of thermal strippers.
Most common hand strippers are following described.
1- Round Wire Stripper

This is a triple action tool, cutting longitudinally for end stripping, spiral for end stripping and
midspan cuts, and circular for jacket removal
Page 25 of 78
2- Manual Wire Strippers
The wire is placed in the correct diameter hole at the specified strip length. The handles of the tool
are then closed and the insulation is stripped by pulling the wire and the tool apart.
3- Automatic Wire Strippers

They‎‎require ‎no‎“cocking”‎or‎‎setting.‎Its‎‎triple‎‎action ‎of ‎clamping the wire, cutting the insulation, and
stripping it, is automatically timed and performed with one squeeze on the handles. Length of strip is
regulated by amount of wire extending beyond the blades. Wire size is shown beneath each
stripping hole. After the stripping action, a partial release of pressure on the handles opens jaws
and wire is removed. Full release of pressure returns the tool to the starting position, ready for next
strip.
Crimping Tools
 Manual crimping tools (hand crimpers) are generally used to crimp small quantities of
terminals
 Manual crimping tools are intended for low volumes or field repairs. These tools are not
intended for production use. The repetitive use of these tools should be avoided.
 Manual crimping tools may have dies that are part of the tool, or dies that are
interchangeable. It important to select the proper crimper and proper die for a given job.
Page 26 of 78
 Choose the correct crimper opening for the gauge of wire to be crimped. Manual crimpers
should be calibrated at regular intervals. These tools are usually calibrated using gauge pins
to measure the distance between the crimping heads or indenters (depending on the type of
tool being calibrated). Make sure the crimping tool in use has a calibration sticker
Hydraulic Crimping Tool for LV cables
TERMINALS & CONTACTS:
General Description:
Terminals are designed to connect a cable or wire to a screw or mating termination. The most
common types include ring, pin, blade, male/female, spade, etc.
Procedure:
1- Cable Preparation:
This section provides requirements and acceptance criteria for preparation of cables and wires.
Page 27 of 78
 To avoid damaging the conductor during stripping, the blades of the stripping tools should be
adapted according to the conductor diameter and the thickness of insulation.
 Stripping faults are often caused by inappropriate handling, incorrect adjustment of the
stripping tool, damaged stripping blades of the stripping tool.
 Strand damage can lead to degraded performance. The number of damaged (scraped,
nicked or severed) strands in a single wire shall not exceed the limits of the below Table:
Allowable Strand Damage.
Page 28 of 78
2- Cable Stripping
Stripping (a wire/cable) consists of removing a portion of the wire jacket, without damaging the
underlying conductor or the rest of the insulation.
The strip length is determined by measuring the exposed conductor strands after the insulation is
removed. The strip length determines the conductor brush length when the insulation position is
centered.
One ‎strip‎‎length‎‎doesn’t ‎fit ‎all‎‎terminals ‎and‎‎contacts. Strip length is important because it provides a
good conductor and insulation fit to the terminal. A good strip also offers strain relief for vibration
protection in the field.
Follow the Table of Primary tools required for Crimping for using stripper for appropriate diameter of
wire/cable.
For proper crimping, follow the instructions regarding stripping length. Terminal specification sheets
so that the terminal is properly applied to the wire/cable
Example of instructions for stripping length

3- Cable Crimping
For manual crimping operations prior to wire/cable insertion, the operator shall examine the
crimp contacts. Contacts that show the following conditions shall not be used:
 Cracks in the plating or base metal.

 Cracks in the insulating material (only for pre/fully-insulated terminals).
 Tarnishing or discoloration of the plating.
Page 30 of 78
Plating removal or flaking.
Out-of-roundness of the wire well entrance.
Exposed base metal.
Cumulative trauma disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered
hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and low volume applications. A
wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production
operations is available
For Insulated closed Barrel Terminals, the following general crimping tool is utilized:
A general crimping tool for close barrel terminal details
STEPS:
1- Strip the wire according to the dimension provided in the manufacturer datasheet being
careful to avoid nicking or cutting the conductor(s).
2- Open the tool jaws by closing the tool handles until the ratchet releases, and then allow the
handles to open fully.
Page 31 of 78
3- Place the terminal in the jaws holding the wire barrel in place between indenter and nest
and against the stop (see figure below).
4- Close the tool handles until the product is held firmly in place. DO NOT deform the wire
barrel.
5- Insert properly stripped wire(s)/cable into the wire barrel until its tops (see figure below).
6- Complete the crimp by closing the tool handles until the ratchet releases.
7- Release the tool handles, allow the handles to open fully, and remove the crimped product.
8- Remove the crimped terminal from the tool and check it
Each tool has three insulation adjustment positions to adjust the wire insulation grip: 1-Small, 2-
Medium, and 3-Large. To determine the proper insulation crimp setting, proceed as follows:
 Insert the adjustment pin into Position 3.

 Position the receptacle into the jaws as described.
 Insert an UNSTRIPPED wire into just the insulation barrel of the receptacle. Crimp the
receptacle and remove it from the jaws.
 Check the insulation support by bending the wire back and forth once. The insulation barrel
should retain grip on the wire insulation. If the wire pulls out, move the insulation adjustment
pin to the next smaller position (2) and perform another test crimp. If the wire does not
pullout, the pins are properly adjusted.
Move the insulation adjustment pin as necessary until the desired insulation grip is obtained. The
crimp should hold the wire insulation firmly without cutting into it.
For uninsulated closed lugs, the following hydraulic crimping tool is utilized:
Page 32 of 78
This hydraulic hand tool has a stationary lever and a movable lever. These levers are compressed
to pump hydraulic fluid behind the ram, moving it forward and thereby closing the dies. After the
crimping is complete, the movable lever is turned to depress the plunger. The moving die retracts to
its original position, completing the crimping cycle
STEPS:
1- Press head latch and open crimping head.
2- Pull back the die latch and turn thumb knob until desired die size appears. (Embossed wire
size appears on side of each die position.).
3- Rotate thumb knob left or right until die latch locks die wheel in desired position.
4- Close head.
5- Strip wires as per manufacturer datasheet.

6- Insert terminal or splice in upper die.
7- Pump movable lever until moving (lower) die grips terminal or splice.
Page 33 of 78
8- Insert stripped wire into wire barrel of terminal or splice.
9- Continue pumping moveable lever. A slight click may be heard, indicating the pump has
shifted into the high-pressure stage. Continue pumping moveable lever. When dies have
bottomed,‎an‎audible‎“pop”‎will‎be‎heard.‎This‎indicates‎that‎the‎crimp‎is‎complete.‎
10- Retract movable die by turning movable handle (to actuate striker), compress levers to
depress plunger. Movable die will now retract.
11- Remove crimped terminal or splice.
12- Inspect crimp for the following criteria:

 Centering of crimp (crimp may be off center but not off end of wire barrel).
 Wire size being used matches wire range stamped on die position and terminal.
 End of wire is flush with or extends slightly beyond end of wire barrel.
 There are no nicked or missing strands.

6.17 MV CABLES TERMINATION
MV cable termination procedure requires a very qualified, trained, and certified technician. Below
is a step by step procedure for MV cable terminations:
 Cable cut lengths should be sufficient to terminate cable in the panel however avoid
unnecessary long cuts.
 Prepare adequate holes in the gland plats, Gland the cables taking care the grounding
connection.
 Cable termination shall be done by certified terminator according to termination type
recommended procedure. As there is Plug In Type Termination, so the cables will be
terminated as per the Supplier (3M) recommended procedure for which the steps are as
under:
 Align cable and fix with clamp observing smallest admissible bending radius (15 x outer
diameter of cable
 Cut off cable rectangular with a saw if possible and do not damage insulation screen when
removing conductive tape
 Use cleaning solvents for cleaning the cable the core insulation can usually be cleaned by
means of dry cleaning cloths.
 Check while fixing the cable below the bushing it has to be observed that the cable runs
along the axis of the bushing after completed installation of the termination
 Cut back outer sheath by measure “A“ observing to leave sufficiently long screen wires (see
figure). Cut off tape wrapping and counter helix at the end of the outer sheath.
A = L; min. 203 mm
 Clean outer sheath and apply 1st layer of sealing tape. Bend back screen wires and press
them into the sealing tape all along the circumference. Apply 2nd layer of sealing tape onto
the screen wires and press it against screen wires
 Cut-back conductive tape at the end of outer sheath.
 Remove fix-bonded insulation screen up to 20 –25 mm from the end of outer sheath with a
round stripping tool.
 If remainders of the insulation screen are still existing, then remove carefully with attached
emery cloth without leaving any residues
 Check the transition from the insulation screen to the surface of the stripped core is even
and smooth.
 Cut off core 203 mm before end of outer sheath.
 Cut back core insulation by 85 mm and slightly chamfer edge of insulation. Wrap end of
conductor with self- adhesive plastic tape and clean core insulation
 Check correct position of pressure disc and pressure spring according to the manufacturer
recommendation and push fixing flange over cable.

Termination on GIS:
This kind of equipment is a compact multicomponent assembly, enclosed in a ground metallic

housing where bus bars, circuit breakers, isolators and instrument transformers are installed ,
having as primary insulation medium a compressed gas – sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) – that assure
the phase to ground insulation.
GIS are provided with cable termination enclosures where cable terminations will be installed.
Main features of GIS cable terminations are:
 Cable lug
 Box body
 Reliable support insulator – High grade, non-tracking, epoxy insulators provide excellent
mechanical and electrical characteristics. The insulators are compatible with SF6 gas by-
products, ensuring long life of the termination. Design of the insulators also allows for an
optional cable shield break.
 Filling compound
 Stress control cone with bundle tape.
 Rigid cable support – The connector is locked in position by a threaded hood at the top of
the support insulator. Electrical connection between the GIS and termination should not be
subjected to the mechanical forces from the cable.
 Positive sealing system – A double “O” ring sealing system is used to seal between the
termination oil compartment and the GIS SF6 compartment. Fully retained gaskets are
compressed to seal the interior of the termination from the atmosphere.
 Earthing clamp.
The below figure shows a scheme of GIS cable termination:
GIS cable termination scheme
Page 40 of 78
Proper tools and accessories are required for termination for GIS installation:
 Panduit pliers – for installation of bundle tape around stress cone.

 Circlip pliers – for installation of top fitting.
 Adapter flange.
 Top fitting removal kit.
 Re-assembly kit
 Earthing kit.
 Screen connection
7 FIBER OPTICAL(FO) CABLE

7.1 Material Receiving and Preservation:
The quality inspector shall inspect all fiber optic cable and cable accessories to be installed during
receiving at warehouse in accordance with purchase orders, company and project requirements,
additionally shall ensure the proper preservation of them as follow:
 All Incoming material shall be visually inspected for damage and project specification non-
conformance
 The cable drums shall be stored on a flat and firm surface
 When placing drums on uneven or sloping ground, take necessary precaution against
rolling. Ensure appropriate stopping devices (like scotch blocks) are available
 Cable drums shall not be stacked on top of each other
 Always check the weight of the drum to ensure the lifting device has the required capacity
 Always lower the drums gently onto the ground or transport tray. Never drop drums. Avoid
impact, which may damage the drums
 The drums shall be restrained from rolling on or off the truck. This shall be ensured by
placing wooden wedges or similar blocks under them on either sides of the point of contact
 Accessories include Fiber Optic connector and terminal kits, FO cutting and splicing
equipment, FO cable straps and ties, FO cable testing equipment, etc..
 The manufacturer's storage, handling and preservation instructions to be followed.
 All empty drums shall be removed from the site as and when they become empty
and returned to store for disposal
 Cable reels shall be stored away from open flame, fire, arc welding, brazing, grinding and
other sources of high heat or ignition.
Page 41 of 78
7.2 Fibre Optic Cable Installation:
Prior starting the installation, testing, termination and splicing activities, the following verifications
shall be conducted to ensure the compliance of project requirements in accordance with
applicable Inspection and Test Plans:
 Ensure that all drawings/documents are latest revision and available prior to commencement
of any work.
 Verify and mark the location of cable on each cable tray/containment where the FO cables
will be installed. Cable number should mark as per the latest cable routing plan and cable
list details.
 Check materials for damage before transporting to the work area. All materials of doubtful
condition or quality shall be immediately segregated from the job site.
 Ensure that all materials and tools/equipment needed to complete the work are available at
work areas.
 Quality Control inspector shall inspect the materials prior installation – fiber optic
system materials shall conform to all applicable requirements, standards, and specifications
prior to release to be used as part of the work
During Installation and cable pulling, the following precautions shall be carried out:
 It needs to be handled appropriately to ensure the long-term life of the cable.

 The Mechanical cable pulling which shall be well calibrated and the pulling tension
shall be strictly observed as per the cable manufacturer’s recommendations.
 The cable shall not be dragged along the ground or trench as this may cause abrasion and
damage to the outer sheath and may result in kinks in the cable, if it gets stuck in debris,
rock or similar.
 Always ensure that there are enough people available to hold the cable so that it does not
drag along the ground.
 No traffic of whatever nature shall be permitted to cross over the cables.
 No construction plant, trucks or even light vehicles shall be allowed to drive over the cable.
 Personnel shall not be permitted to step on the cables.
 When the cable is being uncoiled, care shall be taken to ensure that the coils left on the
drum do not cross over one another.
 Cutting of Fiber Optic cable for splicing is normally not allowed.
 Where it is absolutely necessary to cut the cable at terminations, both ends of the cut cables
shall be sealed with temporary insulation tapes in order to keep moisture and dirt away from
the fibers and prevent the filling compound escaping.
 Jacks and spindle shall be used for cable installation.
 The spindle must be equipped with two cones and two collars. The cones are
pushed into the space between the spindle hole and the spindle, and the collars
which have locking screws, keep the cones in place. This arrangement prevents the
drum from sliding along the spindle.
 Decide whether the cable can be pulled in one stage or more than one stage
Page 42 of 78
 Cable drum set-up location and the direction of pulling are decided and the drum is either
loaded in drum frame and spindle or in Cable Jacks & spindle.
 The cable jacks shall be on level and firm surface and restrained from moving while
the cable is being pulled.
 The drum should be rotated in the direction of the arrow indicated on the drum flange.
 At least 300 mm clearance shall be maintained between the bottom of the cable drum and
the ground surface during cable pulling.
 The cable should leave the drum from top
 At the pulling end of the cable, a quick break swivel configured for the pulling tension as
recommended by the cable manufacturer shall be attached which will break in case
of pulling tensile load of the cable exceeds.
 This swivel also helps in preventing the twisting of the cable during cable pulling
 Cutting the cable to facilitate convenient cable installation is not allowed. Cutting of cable will
introduce additional joints, which will lead to increase of Link Loss
 Flag signals (Red & Green) may be used for stopping and starting the cable pulling
operations.
 The pulling tension should be uniform throughout and jerking the cable while pulling should
be avoided
 An up to date cable drum traceability record will be kept to identify where each drum
length has been installed
Note: During FO cable pulling, the bending radius limitation will be taken in consideration as the
following:
The curve radius shall be greater than 10 times the outer diameter of the cable (say for outer
diameter 50mm then curve radius must be greater than 500mm). Make sure that while the cable
bends in curves/track crossings, the total surface of the cable should be rested on the
ground properly.
The optical fibre cable conduit shall comply with internal diameter 20 and external 25 minimum
bending radius 140 mm
Page 43 of 78
7.3 DETAILED PROCEDURE FOR SPLICING AND TERMINATION
A splice may be considered as two or more conductors joined with a suitable connector,
reinsulated, reshielded and rejacketed with compatible materials. applied over a properly
prepared surface. There are two methods of fiber optic splicing, fusion splicing & mechanical
splicing, Fusion Splicing will be used.
 Fusion splicing: Fusion splicing is the process of fusing or welding two fibers together
usually by an electric arc. Fusion splicing is the most widely used method of splicing as it
provides for the lowest loss and least reflectance, as well as providing the strongest and
most reliable joint between two fibers.
 Mechanical splicing: A mechanical splice is a junction of two or more optical fibers that are
aligned and held in place by a self-contained assembly (usually the size of a large
carpenter's nail). The fibers are not permanently joined, just precisely held together so that
light can pass from one to another
When splicing the fibers optic cables, verify the followings:
 The installation site must be kept dry and clean for the entire duration of the splicing
operation
 The splicer is following the manufacturer's instruction for the splicing equipment being used.
 The splicer is using an approved buffer stripper.
 The fiber coating stripper used shall be approved for the specific size fiber being stripped.
 Verify that Splicing equipment is approved fusion splicing equipment
 To minimize damage to the bare fibre, avoid excessive wiping (more than five times). Before
cleaving, wipe the fibre twice with a new tissue dampened with 90% grade alcohol to remove
any coating debris from the stripped fiber.
 Verify that only appropriate cleaving tool is being used to cleave the fibre. Hand scribes shall
not be used for cleaving.
 Verify that dispose of bare fibre is being properly handled by using the sticky side of a piece
of tape to pick up and discard any loose ends in a container. Scrap pieces of fibre shall be
cleaned up from the work site and properly discarded before leaving a work site.
 Handle unprotected glass fibers carefully to avoid introducing flaws such as scratched or
broken fibers.
The Fiber Optic Cable need to be spliced as per the following steps:
METHOD FOR STRIPPING
• Strip fiber cable jacket. Strip back about 3 meters of fiber cable jacket to expose the fiber loose
tubes or tight buffered fibers.
• Use cable rip cord to cut through the fiber jacket.
• Then carefully peel back the jacket and expose the insides.
• Cut off the excess jacket.
• Clean off all cable gel with cable gel remover.
Page 44 of 78
• Separate the fiber loose tubes and buffers by carefully cutting away any yarn or sheath.
• Leave enough of the strength member to properly secure the cable in the splice enclose.
• Strip fiber tubes. For a loose tube fiber cable, strip away about 2 meters of fiber tube using a
buffer tube stripper and expose the individual fibers.
• Clean cable gel. Carefully clean all fibers in the loose tube of any filling gel with cable gel
remover.
• Secure cable tubes. Secure the end of the loose tube to the splice tray and lay out cleaned and
separated fibers on the table. Strip and clean the other cable tube’s fiber that is to be spliced, and
secure to the splice tray.
• Strip first splicing fiber. Hold the first splicing fiber and remove the 250µm fiber coating to expose
5cm of 125um bare fiber cladding with fiber coating stripper tool. For tight buffered fibers, remove
5cm of 900µm tight buffer first with a buffer stripping tool, and then remove the 5cm of 250µm
coating.
• Place the fusion splice protection sleeve. Put a fusion splice protection sleeve onto the fiber being
spliced.
• Clean the bare fiber. Carefully clean the stripped bare fiber with lint-free wipes soaked in isopropyl
alcohol.
• After cleaning, prevent the fiber from touching anything
Page 45 of 78
CLEAVING
• With a high precision fiber cleaver, cleave the fiber to a specified length according to your fusion
splicer’s manual.
• Prepare second fiber being spliced. Strip, clean and cleave the other fiber to be spliced.
Page 46 of 78
FUSION SPLICING
Some of the general steps with full automatic microprocessor control splicing machines shall
be as under:
• Hands shall be thoroughly washed prior to commencing this procedure.
• The clean bare fibre shall be dipped in the beaker of ethyl alcohol of the ultrasonic cleaver and
ultrasonic clever switched on for 5-10 seconds.
• The bare fibre shall then be placed inside ‘V’ groove of the splicing machine by opening clamp
handle, in such a way so that 1 mm gap is available between the electrodes and the end of fibre
being spliced and heat shrink protector inserted.
• The same procedure shall be repeated for other fibre.
• The start button on the splice controller shall be pressed.
• The machine shall pre-fuse set align both in ‘X’ and ‘Y’ direction and then finally fuse the fibre.
• The splice shall be inspected on monitor provide on the fusion splicing machine, there shall be no
nicking; bulging and cores are adequately aligned. The above procedure shall be repeated if the
splice is not visually good looking.
• The heat shrink protector shall be slid over the splice and tube shall be placed in tube heater.
Heating shall be considered complete when soft inner layer is seen to be ‘oozing’ out of the outer
layer of the protector.
• The above steps shall be repeated for other fibres.
• Place splice into splice tray. Carefully place the finished splice into the splice tray and loop excess
fiber around its guides. Ensure that the fiber’s minimum bending radius is not compromised
For termination, carefully insert the bare fiber into the connector until it meets the preloaded fiber
stub

8 FINAL INSPECTIONS AND INSTALLATION TESTING

8.1 INSPECTION METHOD
During cable pulling process, special care will be taken to avoid any damage to the outer sheet.
Random visible checks are conducted along the entire length. Any physical damage to the outer
sheet will be immediately reported by any member of the pulling team to the cable pulling
supervisor.
The damaged severity will be analysed and appropriated action will be taken accordingly.
Page 49 of 78
Site Inspection will be conducted as part of Power Supply Site Quality Plan, in order to ensure that
cables are properly installed according to relevant Method Statement and Technical specification.
8.2 TESTING METHOD

Continuity and insulation checks will be performed on the cables before connections.
A record sheet is filled and submitted to the Supervisor (confer to the ITP [A02]).
The following values will be the acceptance criteria for cable testing:
S/N Cable Type Acceptance Criteria
1 MV Cables 5000V < 10 MOHM
2 LV / PTR / NTR Cables 1000V < 1 MOHM
3 Control Cables 500V < 1 MOHM
Note: HI-POT test will be carried out for MV cables as per approved documents (M3-TSY-PRO-
POSML-T20-022031) MV cable – SAT Procedure.
Note: As per supplier recommendation and in orde to avoid any damage to the cables, Hi-pot test
will be carried out only one time before preparation for energizing and after termination.
Fiber Optic cables testing:

Splice loss measurements shall be made between the end terminal points both at 850 & 1300 nm
for backbone multimode fibers and 1310 & 1550nm for backbone single mode fibers. The overall
link loss (dB) and optical length for each fiber are directly obtained from the OTDR Trace.
OTDR Testing: OTDR – Optical Time Domain Reflectometer, is a device that can identify
performance-inhibiting factors like bad or dirty connections, plots the backscattered signal power as
a function of distance withen the fiber. It easily locates all events (bend, bad splices, etc.) that
contribute to the overall loss and calculates the overall reflectance level. In addition, the OTDR
accurately measures the fibers length, so cuts or misrouted connections can be found.
Note: Piror to the FOC cable pulling, pre-installation tests will be conducted without fail and
post instalaltion test will be done after pulling.
Steps:
 Connect one end of the cord to the launching port of the OTDR and the other end to the
terminal number 1 at the ODF in terminal station A.
 Turn on the OTDR and leave it for some time for stabilization.
 Follow the instruction manual to operate the OTDR
 Acquisition parameters are generally selected by the OTDR in the auto configuration
mode.
 Set the wavelength at 850nm.
 Press the start button and wait for averaging and display of the final trace.
Page 50 of 78
 The trace gives an indication of the splice distances and its losses from the measuring end
terminal A in this case
 Slope of the trace gives an indication of the attenuation of the fiber. The horizontal
scale is a measure of the power loss in dB.
 Change the range and/or pulse width manually if required and repeat the test in order
to get a clear and smooth trace. Save the trace.
 Set the wavelength at 1300nm and repeat the measurement and save the trace.
 The test is repeated for all the fibers in the cable from terminal A
 The same test is repeated from terminal B.
 The test is repeated for 1310 and 1550 nm for single mode fiber
 The average of the test results is calculated and recorded in the relevant test format.
 These results shall be compared with link loss budget. If any abnormal deviations are
found, the cable shall be re-spliced.
 Record the data from the trace to the approved data sheet and calculate the splice losses.
Acceptance Criteria:
The splice losses for individual splices in the cable shall not exceed the limit specified in the
applicable specifications
The length of the fibers indicated in the OTDR trace shall be slightly more than the physical
length of the cable due to helix factoring. The overall link loss indicated in the OTDR trace should
not be taken as the insertion loss of the link. It gives only approximate loss and does not reflect the
actual loss in the working condition. The OTDR trace indicates the distribution of losses
among various segments in the optical path for further analysis.
