The cable characteristics required for a cable to perform appropriately are described. Also, a method is described for determining whether or not the cable has the required characteristi

ITU-T L.108 (03/2018) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Te

10、lecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardizatio

11、n Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technolo

12、gy which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance

13、with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligato

14、ry language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of

15、 this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the

16、date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation.

ITU-T L.108 (03/2018) Introduction Air blowing installation methods are based

22、 on viscous drag acting upon a cable within a duct by forcing a continuous high-speed airflow through the duct. The velocity of the moving air propels the cable and makes it advance at a typical speed supported by the blowing equipment. When using blowing techniques, there is generally no pulling fo

23、rce at the front end of the cable; the airflow exerts a distributed force along the entire cable. In addition, connection to a pulling cord is not needed. Generally, the blowing force is an order of magnitude lower than the typical force involved in other installation methods, for example pulling te

24、chniques, thus reducing installation hazards. Additionally, with this technique, bends in a duct run are of less concern than with pulling techniques, so, generally, the installation speed increases and longer lengths of cable can be installed. Cables are installed with low stress levels, leaving th

25、e cable or other elements effectively relaxed in the duct once the installation has been completed. Therefore, cables can be designed with lower tensile capabilities than cables to be pulled. And, elements without additional strength members, such as fibre units and single fibres, can also be consid

26、ered. New generation cabling techniques, based on microduct cables, microduct fibre units and microduct systems, offer the possibility of branching without the need for splices. These techniques are extremely flexible and make them possible to grow in accordance with demand. This gives rise to the c

27、oncept of “fibre on demand“, which involves the pre-installation of a multi-microduct system and then the subsequent, incremental installation of fibres based on individual customer demand. To support this “fibre on demand“ approach, a fibre cable product must allow the installation of only a few fi

28、bres at a time. These types of cable products should take up the smallest possible amount of the service providers right-of-way (i.e., fit the smallest microduct) so that there is plenty of space to add fibres for future customers. Therefore, usually only a small number of the fibres that are instal

29、led are used immediately. Also, the latest fibre technology can be adopted when required. Rec.
