5. OPTICAL FIBRE SYSTEMS
5.1
Overhead
5.1.1
All Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) Cable:
All ETSA Utilities owned optical fibre cable must comply with the ETSA
Utilities specifications and be marked in accordance with AS2211. In orderto minimize the visual impact of the optical fibre cable the cable colour may
be dark grey or black. Other colours are not permitted.
The cable must be water blocked and have a high-density polyethylene
outer sheath. Single mode fibre is to be used as standard construction.
Standard sizes and their uses are:
12 core (No longer installed by ETSA Utilities)
24 core (No longer installed by ETSA Utilities but used by thirdparties)
56 core (No longer installed by ETSA Utilities)
60 core (No longer installed by ETSA Utilities)
72 core (Currently installed)
144 core (Currently installed in high density areas and for trunk
lines in rural centres.)
No signs are required at the pole top.
The final installed cable tension should not exceed 50% of the Ultimate
Tensile strength (UTS) of the cable. To further minimise the visual impactof the optical fibre cable it must be sagged to match the sag of adjacent low
voltage conductors.
ADSS short span optical fibre cable may be used where the span length
does not exceed 150m. Where span lengths exceed 150m, Long Span ADSS
(LSADSS) must be used.
Refer to the appropriate section of the Telecommunication Equipment
Construction drawings included in Appendices A, B & C for the approved
constructions for ADSS and LSADSS.
In its final condition, ADSS cable must not be bent in excess of
manufacturers specifications.

Disclaimer refer to website: www.etsautilities.com.au
Cable Suspension:
Where open wire low voltage (LV) exists, the optical fibre cable shall be
generally located between the pole and the neutral conductor as detailed in
Appendix-A. The cable is suspended from the cross arm using a clamp as
detailed in Appendix-A. The cable may be supported from the pole only
where there is restricted clearance between the pole and the neutral. Thisarrangement allows for movement of the optical fibre cable in the vertical
plane. Cable may be strung, under tension through the specified support
clamp. In this configuration, it required that the neoprene inserts be
removed and the cable is not being allowed to sag more than 2m in the span.
Where no LV exists, the suspension clamp as shown in Appendix-A must be
used. Note that this clamp is not suitable for stringing.
The optical fibre cable must not be erected above or adjacent to HV
conductors without specific approval from the NSM.
The termination of ADSS cable is NOT permitted in any direction of (4")
100mm stobie poles. Overhead double spanning is not permitted. Balanced
tensions must always occur on 100mm poles except where a 24 core service
is required.

5.1.2Cables Owned by Third Parties (e.g. Telecommunications Carriers)
The cable specifications are entirely up to the owner of the cable and must
be supplied to ETSA Utilities for pole load/strain calculations to be
undertaken. Construction detailed route drawings must be submitted to
ETSA Utilities for pole strength assessments to be undertaken at the cost of
the third party. This may be followed by Make Ready works completed by
ETSA Utilities at the cost of the third party before any stringing can occur.
In designing of third party Telco assets which are to be constructed on
ETSA Utilities asset, the design parameter must allow for tension
variations (e.g. conductor sagging) which result from changes due to
weather condition and existing ETSA Utilities span lengths and tensions.
The minimum clearance between LV conductor and Telco cable of 600mm
applies to span up to 50m. Minimum clearance for longer spans will be
determined by ETSA Utilities.
Stringing of non-ETSA Utilities telecommunications cable must be in the
carrier window on the pole which is an area between 1.4m and 1.8m below
the LV conductor level on the road side of the pole, unless passing a pole
mounted transformer. Refer to Appendix-A for more detail. The position
within this window will be determined by ETSA Utilities for each applicant.
Where the preferred position (1.8m below LV) is already occupied or is
technically unsuitable, e.g. Due to truck clearances, then ETSA Utilities will
attempt to provide an alternative attachment position, usually 1.5m below
the cross-arm.
All completed works drawings must be returned to ETSA Utilities within 30days of construction for updating of Facilities Access records, with clear
details of the route and number of poles accessed.
Where non-ETSA Utilities overhead telecommunication cable needs to
cross a high load corridor or railway/tramline then it must be placed
underground. Where non-ETSA Utilities overhead telecommunication cable
needs to cross roads then clearances to the carriageway specified in the
Electricity Act 1996 and Electricity (General) Regulations, Schedule 2,
Table 3 (refer Appendix-D, Table 3 - for GUIDE ONLY), must be
achieved without raising attachment points on the adjacent poles or place
the cable underground.
Refer Appendix D, Table 3 (for GUIDE ONLY) for the clearance distances
for aerial service lines and other cable systems. This table is extracted from
the Electricity (General) Regulations 1997, Schedule 2 Requirements for
aerial lines. For current and accurate details refer to latest revision and
publication of Electricity (General) Regulations 1997.

TS-201 Issue: August 2009 Authorised: Jehad ALI Date: 21/08/09 Page 12 of 55
Disclaimer refer to website: www.etsautilities.com.au
Attachment to the poles must be by pole clamps as shown in the following
drawings, e.g. Appendix A1 sheet 10.2 and not by attachments requiring
extra holes to be drilled into the steel sides or concrete of the ETSA Utilities
poles.
In some circumstances Make Ready works may be required prior tostringing cable without a catenary which will be determined by ETSA
Utilities as part of assessing the FAA application. If the work is planned by
ETSA Utilities, such as pole replacements for maintenance purposes, the
applicant will need to wait until the work is completed by ETSA Utilities or
select an alternate route.
Where work is required to make room in the carrier window e.g. by
removing redundant equipment, this will be at the applicants cost. If the
redundant equipment is electrical or associated with electrical equipment
e.g. street light switch wires, ETSA Utilities will determine if it can be
removed safely by the applicant as part of stringing or not. If the equipment
is redundant telecommunications assets then ETSA Utilities will specify
removal as part of the applicants stringing works.
NB: If removing Optus Pay TV cable, in all instances the catenary must not
be removed or obstructed.
When stringing at the 1.5m below LV height, the first Third Party to be
given access will remove any existing Optus Pay TV cable (but leave the
catenary) and install a short cross arm, at their cost, as shown in Appendix
A1 sheet 8. The third Party will be given a consistent position on the crossarm next to the pole or at the outer end of the arm. Removal of any waste
material is the responsibility of the Third Party.
Before stringing at the 1.5m below LV height, the stobie pole strength
visual inspection (i.e. rust at base, cracks, bend or any other damages)
should be carried out and referred to ETSA Utilities for assessment of
reduction of pole strength. Refer to Appendix-E E1-Sht 1 as a GUIDE
ONLYfor typical stobie pole loading.
If any existing O/H arrangement is outside the parameters covered in
Appendix-E such as other third party assets already installed (e.g. Pay TV orPilot cables) then this must be forwarded to the ETSA UtilitiesFacilities
Access & Projects Coordinator for further assessment. ETSA Utilities-
Manager Network Assets approval and sign off is required before any route
design is finalised and any work can commence.
For facilities access applications, the single point of contact is Darren Smith
Facilities Access and Projects Coordinator (08) 8404 5399 or if
unavailable Peter Dean Manager Network Projects (08) 8404 5064.

conductor to identify the cable as containing optical fibres.
The final installed cable tension should not exceed 20% of the Ultimate
Tensile strength (UTS) of the cable.
In its final condition, OPGW cable may not be bent in a radius less than 10
times the diameter of the cable. During stringing, the cable may be
temporarily bent up to 20 times the diameter of the cable, provided the bend
is not supported by any sharp edge.
Cable Suspension:
In all cases, the OPGW cable is installed above the high voltage cable and
OPGN may be installed as a LV neutral or as a CMEN conductor.
5.1.4Fibre Management Systems and Pits

5.3 Building Entry for ETSA Utilities Fibre
In general, ETSA Utilities will install telecommunications main backbone and
alternative backbone (if requested) to an equipment rack installed in the main
equipment room. Where the connection to the ETSA Utilities network is directly
to a main core network fibre, ETSA Utilities will utilise a FIST enclosure in a pit
outside the premises. Where the connection is to a radial spur the connection will
be direct to the equipment rack, with 20m of spare fibre installed if possible. The
spare fibre shall be placed in a suitable location inside the building. Design and
installation of telecommunications cabling and equipment shall be in accordance
with AS3084 Telecommunications Installations Telecommunications
pathways and spaces for commercial buildings.Specific references are provided
below:
5.3.1Backbone Pathways
Installation will comply with;
Refer section 3 of AS3084 Telecommunications Installations
Telecommunications pathways and spaces for commercial buildings.
5.3.2Equipment Room
Installation will comply with;
Refer section 6 of AS3084 Telecommunications Installations
Telecommunications pathways and spaces for commercial buildings.
5.3.3
Building Entry points
Installation will comply with;
Refer section 7 of AS3084 Telecommunications Installations
Telecommunications pathways and spaces for commercial buildings.
Installations may be made in conduits containing LV power cables where
the fibre cable uses a sub duct (refer 4.2.2).
5.3.4
Access to ETSA Utilities equipmentWhere the building is not owned by the customer, written permission and an
access agreement must be provided to ETSA Utilities by the building owner
prior to installation of ETSA Utilities cabling or equipment.

5.4 Substation Entries for ETSA Utilities Fibre
All substation sites shall be classed as Edge, Hub or Point of Presence (POP)
sites. Entry to Edge, Hub and POP sites will require duplicate diverse entry.
Where the Hub site is not required to be established immediately suitable spare
fibre may be temporarily on site but not terminable. Where a POP site is not
required to be established immediately all fibre entry must be terminated in the
first installation.
Substation property access by third parties for installation of telecommunications
equipment requires an application for a site licence under the Facilities Access
Agreement. The site licence will impose strict conditions regarding access to
substations by third parties and will require a safety observer unless the third
party is an endorsed contractor. Such access will also be conditional on ETSA
Utilities requirements at that time. Wherever possible the third parties equipment
should be installed outside of the earth grid area of the substation. This would
usually entail use of part of the landscaped area around the outside of the securityfence and enable third party access to equipment without an ETSA Utilities
observer.
All Third party huts or cabinets when installed will require a separate electricity
supply from the street via the supply connection process.
Where equipment is inside the substation as other options are not practicable,
ETSA Utilities will specify the construction and access details. If access requires
entry into the substation area then an Access Permit and observer is required for
each instance at the applicants cost. Processing of access applications by ETSA
Utilities NOC usually takes 10 days.
Fibre entering a substation to a ETSA Telecommunications hut which has third
party racks, is the property of ETSA Utilities from the pit to the hut.
5.5
Performance Standards
5.5.1Dielectric Loss (ETSA Utilities Assets)
All cables will be subjected to an insertion loss test. 1.5dB/km is the
maximum permissible insertion loss. A time domain reflectometry based
test is not required.
5.5.2Wind Loading
Where the fibre optic cable span exceeds 150m or on poles with less than 3
conductors, wind loading effects on the Stobie poles must be considered.
Wind loading effect is to be determined in accordance with TS107 (Over
head line design) where non-ETSA Utilities fibre is to be installed. This
issue would require Make Ready works at the applicants cost.
5.5.3Minimum Life (ETSA Utilities Assets)
All fibre cables must be installed in a manner consistent with a 25 year assetlife.

APPENDIX B: ETSA UTILITIES ASSETS
B-1 - Fibre Cable Numbering:
Fibre Cable numbering shall use the following convention. Each cable shall be allocated
a serial number based on the following:
FC000(X)
Where X in the serial number indicates a number within an incremental numeric
sequence used to identify each cable. The register sequence begins at 1 and increments
each time a new pit is allocated. As an example, the third cable allocated to the register
will have the serial number FC000 (3). Prior to allocating a serial number it is a
requirement to check the fibre cable register to ensure that the number has not already
been used. Having then been allocated a number to create a unique serial number it
must be logged in the register to ensure that its use is not replicated. As part of the
register logging process ensure that all the other detail fields have been completed.
During construction of the network cables they shall be numbered separately based
upon the following;
Where two cables intersect at a splice, each cable will be allocated a separate serial
number.
Where a cable enters and exits a fibre pit and a coil of fibre is provided, the cable
entering and exiting the pit will have the same serial number.
Where a cable enters a fibre pit and passes into an enclosure, the cable that enters and
the cable that exists will be allocated a separate serial number.
B-2 - Fibre Pit Numbering:
Pit numbering shall use the following convention. Each pit shall be allocated a serial
number similar to the following:
FP000(X)
Where X is a number within an incremental numeric sequence used to identify the pits.
The sequence begins at 1 and increases each time a new pit is allocated to the register.
As an example, the third pit allocated to the register will have the serial number
FP00(3). Prior to the allocation of a serial number it is a requirement to check the fibre
pit register to ensure that the number has not already been used. Having then beenallocated a number to create a unique serial number it must be logged in the register to
ensure that its use is not replicated. As part of the pit register logging process ensure
that all the other detail fields have been completed.

B-3 - Communication Management System Numbering:
Communication Management System numbering shall use the following convention.
Each management system shall be allocated a serial number similar to the following:
BOE-FP0001-EG140001
The serial number is specific; it identifies the type of enclosure as well as a unique
location. The first three letters indicate the functionality of the communications
management system; in this case it identifies the type: breakout enclosure. Next in the
sequence is the location identifier specified by the pit number that the system is located
in (serial number specified above).
The final part of the serial number specifies the type of enclosure itself. In this
particular case it uses the prefix (EG) to identify the Egger ton enclosure. The
remaining numerals used to complete the serial number are created using an incremental
numeric sequence used to identify each system. The sequence begins at 1 and increaseseach time a new management system is allocated to the register.
As an example, the third Egger ton enclosure located in pit 3 will have the serial
number
(BOE-FP0003-EG140003)
Prior to allocating a number it is a requirement to check the Communications
management system register for number allocation to ensure that the number has not
already been used. Having then been allocated a number it must be logged in the
register to ensure that its allocation is not replicated. As part of the register loggingprocess ensure that all the remaining fields associated with the system allocated are
completed.
B-4 - Service Numbering:
A Service Number is provided to each customer so that an initial connection point into
the telecommunications network can be identified. The Service Number may contain up
to three parts, each of which provides a different set of information.
An example of a three part Service Number is shown below.
FC0020-0001-PORTADEL
Most Service Numbers will only contain the first two fields with the last field, an 8 digit
location identifier not being required. The site identifier is only included upon the
request of the customer, where the structure of their service requires it.
The first six digits of the Service Number use the serial number allocated to the cable at
the first point of entry into the network from the main customer premises. This cable
itself will be numbered in the first instance according to Appendix B1. In the case of a
redundant network the standard approach is to choose the lowest of the two fibre cable
numbers that are connected to the switch. This serial number is then allocated to the
Service Number as previously mentioned.

TS-201 Issue: August 2009 Authorised: Jehad ALI Date: 21/08/09 Page 49 of 55
Disclaimer refer to website: www.etsautilities.com.au
The second four digits of the Service Number indicate the time slot allocated for the
service on the fibre pair. The telecommunications network has been designed so that
multiple services can share the same fibre path via multiplexing techniques. A service
that has been allocated the first time slot of a fibre pair is allocated the next four digits
of the service number: 0001, as shown above. When other services are allocated to the
remaining timeslots, the numeric numbering sequence reflects their position in the timedomain.
The 8 digit identifier is only added to the Service Number due to the specific design of
the network and in the instance where the customer requests it. It is included to identify
customer premises (physical locations) that the service is routed to. In this instance the
customer has a specific requirement to identify parts of their network. The standard
requires that all services connected to same customer premises use the same 8 digit
identifier. The example Service Number identifies Port Adelaide as a key customer
premises location for the service.
