Sterlite fiber cables deployed in
India's first 'Formula 1' race trackFormula One, also known as
Formula 1 or F1 isthe highest class of single-seater auto
racing,sanctioned by the Fdration Internationalede l'Automobile
(FIA). The F1 season consistsof a series of races, known as Grands
Prix, heldon purpose-built circuits. The results of eachrace are
combined to determine two annualWorld Championships, one for the
drivers and
one for the constructors. Till 2010, races haveheld have been
held at 68 circuits in 29countries.
The 69th F1 circuit in the 30th country isbeing built in India.
The races would be held atthe Buddh International Circuit in
GreaterNoida, 50 km from Delhi.
These cables would be installed within thestadium control
center, spectator stands, onthe racetrack and in the pit stops, in
a variety ofdeployments such as direct burial in trenches,in ducts,
on cable trays.
Sterlite's solution
LSZH is a material that is composed ofthermoplastic or thermoset
compoundsthat emit limited smoke and does notproduce a dangerous
gas/acid combinationor toxic smoke when exposed to flame.
Formula 1 and India
The track in all has 16 largely medium speedcorners where F1
cars will lap at an average
speed of 210 kph. The back straight will let F1cars reach 320
kmph making it one of thefastest tracks in the world. The expected
F1car lap time is 1 minute 17 seconds. With 60laps in each race,
the total race length is 308.4km
Communication needs of theFormula 1 track in India
Sterlite fiber cables deployed in India's first 'Formula 1' race
track
The circuit length is approximately 5.14kilometres (3.19 miles)
and the track is spreadin an area of 875 acres.
The initial seating capacity is speculated to bearound 150,000.
However there are plans toincrease the seating capacity to 200,000
lateron. A grand stand with a capacity of 13,000will overlook the
turn 10 and turn 11 givingthe F1 fans an opportunity to be a part
of theaction.
While designing the track and its associatedinfrastructure, it
was a pre-requisite that thecommunication system provided for
signalintegrity as the system would be used forcritical functions
such as signaling, barrieractuation, close-circuit television, etc.
Whiledesigning the track and its associatedinfrastructure, it was a
pre- requisite
Further, the cables had to sustain the annualclimatic conditions
in Noida.
Additionally, the cables had to be designed tominimize the
hazards on human healthandsafety in the event of a fire.
Sterlite manufactured and supplied a diverserange of fiber optic
cables that enabledinstallation flexibility, whilst maintaininghigh
health & environment standards andcommunication signal
integrity.
The Sterlite fiber optic cables used for indoordeployment were
designed with LSZH (Lowsmoke zero halogen) as outer jacketing.
