An OPPC has the dual performance functions of a phase conductor with telecommunication capabilities. 4 Optical fibre 4.1 General Single-mode optical fibre which meets the requirements of IEC 607
41、93-2 shall be used. Fibres other than those specified above can be used, if mutually agreed between the customer and the supplier. 4.2 Attenuation 4.2.1 Attenuation coefficient The typical maximum attenuation coefficient of a cable at 1 310 nm is 0,45 dB/km and/or at 1 550 nm it is 0,30 dB/km. Parti
42、cular values shall be agreed between the customer and the supplier. The attenuation coefficient shall be measured in accordance with IEC 60793-1-40. 4.2.2 Attenuation uniformity 4.2.2.1 Attenuation discontinuities The local attenuation shall not have point discontinuities in excess of 0,10 dB. The t
43、est method best suited to provide the functional requirements is in accordance with IEC 60793-1-40. 4.2.2.2 Attenuation linearity The functional requirements are under consideration. 4.3 Cut-off wavelength of cabled fibre The cabled fibre cut-off wavelength cc shall be less than the operational wave
44、length. 4.4 Fibre colouring If the primary coated fibres are coloured for identification, the coloured coating shall be readily identifiable throughout the lifetime of the cable and shall be a reasonable match to IEC 60304. If required, the colouring shall permit sufficient light to be transmitted t
45、hrough the primary coating to allow local light injection and detection. Alternatively, the colour may be removable. 4.5 Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) Refer to 5.5 of IEC 60794-3.

46、ise several elements or individual constituents, depending on the cable design, which take into account the cable application, operating environment and manufacturing processes, and the need to protect the fibre during handling and cabling. The material(s) used for a cable element shall be selected
47、to be compatible with the other elements in contact with it. An appropriate compatibility test method shall be defined in the family or product specification. Optical elements (cable elements containing optical fibres) and each fibre within a cable element shall be uniquely identified, for example,
48、by colours, by a positional scheme, by markings or as specified in the product specification. Different types of optical elements are described below. 5.1 Slotted core The slotted core is either a metallic (for example, aluminium alloy) or non-metallic (for example, polyethylene or polypropylene) ma
49、terial with a defined number of slots, with longitudinal, helical or SZ configuration along the core. One or more primary coated fibres or optical element is located in each slot which shall be filled, if necessary, with a suitable water blocking system. If metallic, it shall be electrically bonded
50、with the other metallic elements of the cable. If non- metallic, the slotted core usually contains a central element which shall be non-metallic. In this case, there shall be adequate adhesion between the central element and the extruded core in order to obtain the required temperature stability and
