and local authorities.
1.1.2、 Ensuring duct route is safe and reliable, constructing and maintaining easily.
1.1.3 、The duct route re-measurementshould be based on the approved construction design. Itwill
check and ratify the route’s detail directions, locations and methods of laying the duct.

1.3. The requirement of plastic pipe laying

1.3.1、The referred plastic pipe is Φ110mm PVC.

1.3.2、Clean up the trench bottom for the pipe to make it even;
1.3.3、Before the pipe laying, levelly fill the trench bottom with 10cm of sand;
1.3.4、When laying the plastic pipe, the pipe mouth must be positioned based on the plan for pipe
mouth, that is, it must be completely tightly closed and the plastic pipes must be arranged evenly
to avoid crossing or wrong positions, and use the stopper to seal the mouth of the pipe.
1.3.5、After having laid the plastic pipes, do the test. If it works well, then process the backfilling.

Mechanical drilling is adopted for crossing main road and railway as the following diagram:

1.5 、The technical requirement of manhole/ handhole

1.5.1、Distance between the holes in straight line is≤100m.

1.5.2、Manhole/ handhole is used according to the different condition, handhole is used for two
and three directions; manhole is used for four directions and in the front of the equipment room.
1.5.3、On the both sides of the canals, bridges, entrances of main roads, turning points, and where
the earth surface height levels are 60cm different, manholes/handholes must be installed.
1.5.4、The dimension of manholes/handholes: dimension of handhole:50 x 90 x 130cm (clearance),
80 x 90 x 130cm (clearance), 90 x 120 x 150cm (clearance); dimension of manhole: 140 x 180 x
180cm (clearance).
1.5.5、Wall of manhole/ handhole: it is built by brick and 24cm thick.
1.5.6、Manhole/ handhole cover is prefabricated by reinforced concrete, and their dimensions are
140 x 170 x 15cm and 190 x 230 x 20cm.
1.5.7、Loop and lid: 80 x 90 x 130cm handhole uses square lid (90 x 50 x 8cm); 90 x 120 x
150cmhandhole and 140 x 180 x 180cm manhole use round lid (Φ66 x 6cm).

Confidential 5
1.5.8、If the manhole/handhole is located in city area, its lid must be 1-2cm higher than the soil
surface and 3-5cm higher if located on the sidewalk of highway. But if it is located in the fields,
orchards, the lid must be 30cm higher than the soil surface.

1.6 、Requirement for backfilling of the trench and road restoration

1.6.1 、If there’s no problem after placing the plastic pipe, backfill the trench with fine sand or soil
layer of 30 cm thick, then add more soil by damping and tamping it down from one layer to another.
1.6.2 、When excavating and restoring main roads or city streets, the trench must be backfilled with
medium sand by dampening and tamping with added water based on technical requirement.
1.6.3 Where the telecommunication duct goes through cities or downtown areas, the trench must be
backfilled at the previous level and restore the original condition. In the suburb, it must be 20-30 cm
higher than the ground level.

1.7、Sub-duct laying
It consists of four Φ32/28mm plastic sub-duct in one PVC pipe. One Sub-duct can
accommodate only one line of FOC. The Sub-duct must be inserted into the intended pipe based
on the requirement, and inserted into the relative pipe according to the route direction at turning
handhole, and 8-10cm of sub-duct is spared in every handhole.

1.8、 FOC matching

1.8.1、It needs to calculate the full length of the FOC to be laidbased on the route re-measurement.
After that, FOC can be matched on a single drum. The length of the FOC to be laid can be
calculated based on the following formula:
L= KL1
L= Duct FOC transmission length (km)
L1= the length on earth surface (km)
K= Reserved FOC coefficient, K varies; it is 1.03

1.9、 Single drum of FOC testing and FOC ends identification

A. Rule of FOC end separation: Regardless of the number of loose buffer tube inside the FOC, the
tubes are identified by two colors, red and green. The red one is the first tube while the green is the
ending one. The number of tubes, from red to green, which can be counted clockwise are identified as
A, the rest are B.
B. The identification of the FOC transmission route ends: the central switching equipment room is
on side A and others are on side B.

1.10 、Laying FOC

1.10.1、FOC laying is pulled by manpower and unrolled in {∞} shape.
Confidential 7
1.10.2、Sparing FOC: spare 5-10m FOC at each manhole/handhole at both sides of the river or
bridge; spare 5-8m FOC between 8 manholes/handholes, FOC must be kept in the bow shape
inside remaining handhole; spare 12-15m FOC at the both sides of joint.
1.10.3、FOC inside manhole/ handhole is protected by vertically cutting open the plastic corrugated
pipe, and wrapped firmly by adhesive tape, and the wrapping space is 30cm. Finally, tie it on the
support board, and FOC label is hung in every manhole/ handhole.

1.11、FOC splicing
refer to the technical requirement
of direct buried FOC
A. “Melting connection” is
adopted as the fiber splicing method.
In FOC splicing, joint box is used to
protect FOC connection, distribution
and fiber joint sealing.
B. FOC formula and joint location should be checked before splicing FOC, and spare enough
FOC to meet the requirement. After ensuring that there is no abnormal condition such as fiber core
broken during the laying process, then process the splicing according to the serial of fiber colors,
and avoid wrong splicing.
C. Strength member placed at the FOC joints must be firmly set and reliable to avoid damage
from external force to FOC,
D. After FOC has been firmly installed; the minimum curvature radius must not be 10 times
smaller than its outer diameter.
E. The average splicing attenuation in both sides of the fiber should be ≤0.08dB.

1.12、FOC Joint box installation

1.12.1、The same type of FOC joint box is adopted for the duct and direct buried.
1.12.2、FOC joint is installed onupper water lever in manhole/ handholethat is perennially water
blocked and about 20cm from the cover.
1.12.3、After FOC splicing is completed, the FOC joint box should be sealed well. FOC jointbox
should be hung firmly on the wall 20cm away from top cover using U shape block, and the spared
FOC is bound by using tie wire.

2、Requirement of FOC entering the equipment room

2.1、FOC route goes in and out of the equipment room should be different route.
2.2、Upgoing pipe adopts Φ110mmPVC pipe.
2.3、The location selected to install ODF rack is according to the condition of the equipment room,
and the dimension of the ODF rack is 800×400×2200mm.
2.4、15-20m of FOC is spared at manhole in front of the equipment room, and 5-10m is spare at
both sides of ODF rack.
2.5、Bareness and turning point of FOC should be protected by corrugated pipe, and bound well
by tie wire.
2.6、Red and yellow adhesive tapes are used as in and out signs in ODF rack, and FOC label is
hung.
2.7、FOC at the equipment room after termination, its metal component should be connected to
the ground wire of the equipment room.

3、FOC termination and relay section testing

3.1、FOC termination:
3.1.1、FOC goes in ODF on left side and out the ODF rack on right side.
3.1.2、The attenuation index of every live joint is ≤0.5dB.
3.1.3、Plastic tube and adhesive tape is used to protect bare fiber and pigtail, then coil and bind it
well.

3.1.4、The serial number of fiber is marked on the pigtail and flange tray. See the following photo:

3.2 、The testing of relay section

The standard transmission attenuation of FOC network after splicing and terminating should
satisfy the communication industry standard expressed as following:
Tested attenuation mean value of fiber in both directions should comply with the index
regulated in G652 Fiber. For the fiber with a wave length of 1310, attenuation value of fiber should
be less than 0.36dB/km; for the fiber with a wave length of 1550, its attenuation value should be
less than 0.25dB/km.
