Optical fiber cable is a key component of any service provider's passive optical networkfor telecommunications applications. Optical fiber cables comprise a significant portion ofHybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) networks in service today. Ensuring the long term reliability ofthese assets is a key performance component to the service providers and networkoperators.
Optical cables are designed to protect the optical fibers from a variety of harmful effectsthat could degrade the ultimate service life of the network. The effects of mechanicalstresses, such as those experienced during installation, must be considered. Environmentaleffects that typically manifest themselves post-installation, such as temperature changesand chemical exposure, should also be evaluated. In order to properly evaluate andcompare different cable designs a test regime of standard performance requirements shouldbe considered by network operators. Well-designed and properly installed cables willprotect the optical fibers and ensure proper operation for 20 years or more.
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance in selection of a suitable outside plant(OSP) optical cable with respect to different application environments.
