12-Count Mainline Fiber Splice, Item 1.01; 24-Count
Mainline Fiber Splice, Item 1.02
A.
Description. The Contractor shall perform fiber splices and furnish
and install Fiber Splice Closures (FSC) as described in these specifications.
12-Count and 24-Count Mainline Fiber Splice shall consist of end-to-end
fusion splices for all fibers.
B.
Materials. The Fiber Splice closures shall be designed for use
under the most severe conditions such as moisture, vibration, impact, cable stress
and flex temperature extremes as demonstrated by successfully passing the
factory test procedures and minimum specifications listed below:
(1)
Physical Requirements: The closure must handle up to four cables
in a butt configuration. A butt adapter may be used to increase capacity to six
cables.
The closure shall prevent the intrusion of water without the use of
encapsulates.
The closure shall be capable of accommodating splice organizer trays
which accept mechanical, fusion, or multi-fiber array splices. The splice closure
shall have provisions for storing fiber splices in an orderly manner, mountings for
splice organizer assemblies, and space for excess or unspliced fiber. Splice
organizers shall be re-enterable. Splice cases shall hold a sufficient number of
splice trays to hold up to 96 splices.
The splice case shall be UL rated.
Closure re-entry and subsequent reassemble shall not require specialized
tools or equipment. Further, these operations shall not require the use of
additional parts.
The splice closure shall have provisions for controlling the fiber bend
radius to a minimum of 38 mm.
(2)
Factory Testing:
Compression Test: The closure shall not deform more than 10% in its
largest cross-sectional dimension when subjected to a uniformly distributed load
of 1335 N at a temperature of -18º C and 38ºC. The test shall be performed after
stabilizing at the required temperature for a minimum of two hours. It shall
consist of placing an assembled closure between two flat paralleled surfaces, with
the longest closure dimension parallel to the surfaces. The weight shall be placed
BID 255695 SPECIFICATIONS
PAGE 1 OF 65
WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION
BID NUMBER 255695
Page 2 of 65
on the upper surface for a minimum of 15 minutes. The measurement shall then
be taken with weight in place.
Impact Test: The assembled closure shall be capable of withstanding an
impact of 28 N-M at temperatures of -18 ºC and 38 ºC. The test shall be
performed after stabilizing the closure at the required temperature for a minimum
of 2 hours. The test fixture shall consist of 9 kg. cylindrical steel impacting head
with a 5 cm spherical radius at the point where it contacts the closure. It shall be
dropped from a height of 30 cm. The closure shall not exhibit any cracks or
fractures to the housing that would preclude it from passing the water immersion
test. There shall be no permanent deformation to the original diameter or
characteristic vertical dimension by more than 5%.
Cable Gripping and Sealing Testing: The cable gripping and sealing
hardware shall not cause an increase in fiber attenuation in excess of 0.05 dB/fiber
@ 1550 nm when attached to the cables and the closure assembly. The test shall
consist of measurements from six fibers, one from each buffer tube or channel, or
randomly selected in the case of a single fiber bundle. The measurements shall be
taken from the test fibers, before and after assembly to determine the effects of
the cable gripping and sealing hardware on the optical transmission of the fibers.
Vibration Test: The splice organizers shall securely hold the fiber splices
and store the excess fiber. The fiber splice organizers and splice retaining
hardware shall be tested per EIA Standard FOP-II, Test Condition I. The
individual fibers shall not show an increase in attenuation in excess of 0.1
dB/fiber.
Water Immersion Test: The closure shall be capable of preventing a 3
meter (10 foot) waterhead from intruding into the splice compartment for a period
of 7 days. Testing of splice closure is to be accomplished by the placing of the
closure into a pressure vessel and filling the vessel with tap water to cover the
closure. Apply continuous pressure to the vessel to maintain a hydrostatic head
equivalent to 3 meters on the closure and cable. This process shall be continued
for 30 days. Remove the closure and open to check for the presence of water. Any
intrusion of water in the compartment containing the splices constitutes a failure.
Certification: It is the responsibility of the Contractor to insure that all
of the above tests have been performed by either the manufacturer, or an
independent testing laboratory, and the appropriate documentation has been
submitted to the Department. Manufacturer certification is necessary for the
model of closure supplied. It is not necessary to subject each supplied closure to
the actual tests described herein.
C.
Construction Methods. The closure shall be installed according to
the manufacturer's recommended guidelines. For the mainline splice, the cables
shall be end-to-end fusion spliced.

tests required by this specification to the Engineer at least 24 hours before
performing the test.
Upon completion of the cable installation, splicing, and termination, the
