Splices in singlemode segments shall be tested at 1310 nm and at 1550 nm. Individual fusion splice losses shall not exceed 0.10 dB loss per splice bi-directionally averaged. Splice losses shall be measured and recorded by the splicing equipment (using LSA). This measurement shall not be used in lieu of OTDR testing of the fiber at 1310nm and 1550nm. Measurement results shall be recorded, dated, validated by the OTDR trace printout and filed with the records of the respective cable runs. Copies of traces and test results shall be submitted to the Engineer. If the OTDR test results are unsatisfactory, the splice shall be unacceptable.

The unsatisfactory segments of cable shall be replaced with a new segment of cable at the Contractor's expense. The new segment of cable shall undergo the same testing procedure to determine acceptability. Copies of the test results shall be submitted to the Engineer. The removal and replacement of a segment of cable shall be interpreted as the removal and replacement of a single contiguous length of cable connecting two splices, two connectors, or a splice and a connector. The removal of only the small section containing the failure and therefore introducing new unplanned splices will not be allowed. If the link loss measured from the power meter and light source exceeds the calculated link loss, the fiber optic link will not be accepted. The Agency will have the unsatisfactory segments of cable, splices or connectors replaced. A complete Power Meter and Light Source Test and Cable Verification Worksheet will be required to be completed by the Testing Contractor for any repaired segments to determine acceptability. Submit copies of the test results to the Engineer. Allowed Losses.
