Optical Fibre Cable

We have in house teams & expertise available to carry out optical fibre cable laying works for both inter and intra city routes. The works are executed by any of following methods:-
Open cut method
Trenchless technology ( Horizontal directional drilling machine )
Aerial cable.

We plan, deploy and manage client's optical networks covering project management, operational support, systems integration & Competence Solutions We help customers to plan their optical network with quality and performance to meet their long-term business goals. In the last five years, Dexterity has executed more than 1000 km of works in India in various states. The company is also undertaking projects in South Africa for various Telecom companies.

The company has their own equipment like HDD Machine, Air Compressor, Blowing Machine, Splicing Machine & OTDR etc. along with required vehicles. We have executed Optical Fibre Cable laying works for reputed companies like RELIANCE, HFCL, IDEA, VODAFONE, BSNL, IOCL etc.

The Company undertakes all the activities involved in the execution of Fibre Cable laying work like

Route Survey & Design

The entire route is surveyed for laying of Optical Fiber Cables for the following inputs
RoW demarcation
Soil strata
Existing Underground utilities
Road / Rail / Bridge / River / Canal Crossings
BOQ Estimation
Any other criticalities.

BOQ Estimation and approval from Customer

On the basis of survey details an estimated BOQ is prepared and submitted to get the approval from the Customer.

Right of Way Permissions

A Single Line Diagram is made, to determine jurisdictions for the statutory permissions such as

State Highways
Railway Department
Roads & Buildings Department
Municipal corporations
Irrigation department
National highway Authorities etc.
Cantonments

Trenching, Ducting and Backfilling

Outside the city limits trench will normally follow boundary of roadside land. However, where road side land is full of borrow pits or forestation, or when cable is to be laid along Culverts/bridges or cross-streams, trench may be made closer to road edge or in some cases, over embankment or shoulder of the road.

Lineup of trench would be such that HDPE duct(s) will be laid in straight line, both laterally as well as vertically except at locations where it has to necessarily take a bend because of change in alignment or gradient of trench. Minimum radius of two meters will be maintained, where bends are necessitated.

Duct Integrity Test

After backfilling ducts shall be tested for integrity (air tightness and kink-free shape).by pressurizing 500 meter to 1 km duct stretches at a time. One end of duct will be closed and compressed air at 5-6kg/cm2 is sent from the other end. At about 5kg/cm2 pressure the inlet of compressed air will be closed. Fall in pressure should not be more than 50% in 1(one) hour.

To check that duct has not collapsed or kinked a wooden cylindrical piece (shuttle) is blown into the duct with far end fitted with Flexible wire grip/stocking. The wooden shuttle should pass through duct at far end without any obstruction and within approx. 10 minutes or less.

Drum Test & Fibre cable blowing

The Cable will be tested before pulling/blowing to ensure continuity also to evaluate the losses if any. Post drum testing the fibre cable is blown through compressor and blowing machine by maintaining required specification as mentioned by the customer like blowing speed, compressor pressure etc.etc. The special care is taken while blowing the cable by stacking fibre in figure of 8 to avoid any damage to the fibre cable .

Cable drum will be loaded on payoff stand & unwound from topside of the drum. Pay off stand would be placed properly so that it does not collapsed while dispensing OFC.

Aerial Cabling At places where open trenching is not possible due to very narrow roads and due to delay in obtaining Row, this method will be adopted as a temporary solution. Also by using special cables (ADSS) this will be laid along the Transmission lines for longer distances.

Distribution Boxes

The distribution boxes will be positioned at every location where a main cable will be distributed to sub - areas with lesser pair cables.

Distribution boxes are also supplied by us as per the customer specification .

Fusion Splicing / End Termination

Splicing is done using a good quality splicing machine. Splice loss per joint will be minimum and would not be more than 0.07 dB. In no case average splice loss per link will be more than 0.06 dB x No. of splices. At least 0.6 M to 0.8 M fiber would be stored in cable tray.

Fiber would be neatly coiled without kinks. Minimum bending radius of 80mm would be ensured, Joint closure would be sealed properly before it is taken out of the controlled environment free from dust particles and air-conditioned splicing van.

The test result of each joint are stored and later tabulated to create fibre test & link test report for customer .

End to End Link Testing & Acceptance testing.

Link Test is carried out on entire section terminated at both ends after completion of tasks to ensure the losses are within permissible limits on all fibers. If the losses are more than specified limits then all such losses are rectified by way of resplicing of joints & the whole link is once again tested for the losses once the losses are brought well within limit then link is offord to the customer for the acceptance testing .

Route Handover & Customer Sign Off.

After the acceptance testing by the customer , the route is physically checked by the customer to see that all works are executed as per approved plans and there is not visible defective workmanship on the route . If there any defective works , such defective works are rectified and offered for inspection to the customers .

Once the customer is satisfied with the workmanship then the route is signed off and handed over to the customer .
