5 ADSS 24Fo SPAN 200m 6 G.655 Corning


a.General requirement:
Span 200m ADSS cable includes 6 G.655 single-mode fibers and 18 G.652D
single-mode fibers. Fibers and loose tubes color code are according to EIA/TIA-598.
Cable with double sheaths: Inner sheath and outer sheath, between inner and
outer sheath, there is the Aramid yarns for cable reinforcing. Cable has structure of 2
fillers and 4 loose tubes which contained 6 fibers. Outer shealth must have an orange
line with the width is 3-4 mm to recognize G655 cable.
Cable structure detail is follow:
- Central strength member (CSM) made by reinforcing glass fiber or non-metal
material with high tension strength.
- Loose tubes are made from Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or equivalent
material. Loose tube filling compound protects the fibers against water
ingress, vibration and enable optical fibers to move easily in loose tubes.
- Fillers have the same size with loose tubes and have colors to distinguish
easily from loose tube.
- Water blocking tape wraps around the cable core and water blocking yarn
inside it: Has an ability to well prevent water ingress follow vertical and
horizontal direction of cable (or use filling compound to prevent water ingress
from cable core and infiltrate along the length of the cable).
- Inner jacket is made from the MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) or
similar material, make sure circular sheath, no holes, joints, repair points and
other defects.
- Reinforcing Strength Member is made from Aramid or similar material. This
class has the ability to withstand high tension and low-level elongation.
- Outer jacket is made from the HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) or similar
material, uniform circular, no holes, joints, the repair point and other defects.
If Bidders use similar materials or more components than the components
mentioned above, the Bidders must provide detailed information about the properties
of the materials and demonstrate the equivalence of materials with materials
mentioned above.
Bidders must provide detailed information about the size (diameter, thickness) of
the fiber structural components.
All of the technical requirements will be checked and measured by Viettel or by
an organization that is certified by Vietnam Government.

a.General requirement:
62
Span 300m ADSS cable includes 6 G.655 single-mode fibers and 18 G.652D
single-mode fibers. Fibers and loose tubes color code are according to EIA/TIA-598.
Cable with double sheaths: Inner sheath and outer sheath, between inner and
outer sheath, there is the Aramid yarns for cable reinforcing. Cable has structure of 2
fillers and 4 loose tubes which contained 6 fibers. Outer shealth must have an orange
line with the width is 3-4 mm to recognize G655 cable.
Cable structure detail is follow:
- Central strength member (CSM) made by reinforcing glass fiber or non-metal
material with high tension strength.
- Loose tubes are made from Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or equivalent
material. Loose tube filling compound protects the fibers against water
ingress, vibration and enable optical fibers to move easily in loose tubes.
- Fillers have the same size with loose tubes and have colors to distinguish
easily from loose tube.
- Water blocking tape wraps around the cable core and water blocking yarn
inside it: Has an ability to well prevent water ingress follow vertical and
horizontal direction of cable (or use filling compound to prevent water ingress
from cable core and infiltrate along the length of the cable).
- Inner jacket is made from the MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) or
similar material, make sure circular sheath, no holes, joints, repair points and
other defects.
- Reinforcing Strength Member is made from Aramid or similar material. This
class has the ability to withstand high tension and low-level elongation.
- Outer jacket is made from the HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) or similar
material, uniform circular, no holes, joints, the repair point and other defects.
If Bidders use similar materials or more components than the components
mentioned above, the Bidders must provide detailed information about the properties
of the materials and demonstrate the equivalence of materials with materials
mentioned above.
Bidders must provide detailed information about the size (diameter, thickness) of
the fiber structural components.
All of the technical requirements will be checked and measured by Viettel or by
an organization that is certified by Vietnam Government.
Cable label is written by request from Viettel after contract is signed.
The length per cable roll in drum: 3km.

a.General requirement:
Span 300m ADSS cable includes 6 G.655 single-mode fibers and 18 G.652D
single-mode fibers. Fibers and loose tubes color code are according to EIA/TIA-598.

73
Cable with double sheaths: Inner sheath and outer sheath, between inner and
outer sheath, there is the Aramid yarns for cable reinforcing. Cable has structure of 2
fillers and 4 loose tubes which contained 6 fibers. Outer shealth must have an orange
line with the width is 3-4 mm to recognize G655 cable.
Type of G655 fiber: Furukawa or equivalent
Cable structure detail is follow:
- Central strength member (CSM) made by reinforcing glass fiber or non-metal
material with high tension strength.
- Loose tubes are made from Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or equivalent
material. Loose tube filling compound protects the fibers against water
ingress, vibration and enable optical fibers to move easily in loose tubes.
- Fillers have the same size with loose tubes and have colors to distinguish
easily from loose tube.
- Water blocking tape wraps around the cable core and water blocking yarn
inside it: Has an ability to well prevent water ingress follow vertical and
horizontal direction of cable (or use filling compound to prevent water ingress
from cable core and infiltrate along the length of the cable).
- Inner jacket is made from the MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) or
similar material, make sure circular sheath, no holes, joints, repair points and
other defects.
- Reinforcing Strength Member is made from Aramid or similar material. This
class has the ability to withstand high tension and low-level elongation.
- Outer jacket is made from the HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) or similar
material, uniform circular, no holes, joints, the repair point and other defects.
If Bidders use similar materials or more components than the components
mentioned above, the Bidders must provide detailed information about the properties
of the materials and demonstrate the equivalence of materials with materials
mentioned above.
Bidders must provide detailed information about the size (diameter, thickness) of
the fiber structural components.
All of the technical requirements will be checked and measured by Viettel or by
an organization that is certified by Vietnam Government.
Cable label is written by request from Viettel after contract is signed.

12 Aerial optical cable (ADSS-24Fo) SPAN 200m G.652D (Mytel)


a. General requirement:

106
ADSS span 200m with 24 single-mode fibers G.652D. Fibers and loose
tubes color code are according to EIA/TIA-598.
Cable with double sheaths: Inner sheath and outer sheath, between inner
and outer sheath, there is the Aramid yarns for cable reinforcing. Cable has
structure of 2 fillers and 4 loose tubes which contained 6 fibers.
Cable structure detail is follow:
- Celtral strength member (CSM) made by reinforcing glass fiber or non-
metal material with high tension strength.
- Loose tubes are made from Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or
equivalent material. Loose tube filling compound protects the fibers
against water ingress, vibration and enable optical fibers to move easily
in loose tubes.
- Fillers have the same size with loose tubes and have colors to distinguish
easily from loose tube.
- Water blocking tape wraps around the cable core and water blocking
yarn inside it: Has an ability to well prevent water ingress follow vertical
and horizontal direction of cable (or use filling compound to prevent
water ingress from cable core and infiltrate along the length of the
cable).
- Inner jacket is made from the MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) or
similar material, make sure circular sheath, no holes, joints, repair points
and other defects.
- Reinforcing Strength Member is made from Aramid or similar material.
This class has the ability to withstand high tension and low-level
elongation.
- Outer jacket is made from the HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) or
similar material, uniform circular, no holes, joints, the repair point and
other defects.
If Bidders use similar materials or more components than the components
mentioned above, the Bidders must provide detailed information about the
properties of the materials and demonstrate the equivalence of materials with
materials mentioned above.
Bidders must provide detailed information about the size (diameter,
thickness) of the fiber structural components.
All of the technical requirements will be checked and measured by Viettel
or by an organization that is certified by Vietnam Government.
Cable label is written by request from Viettel after contract is signed.
The length per cable roll in drum: 3km.

13 Optical Cable crossing river


CROSSING RIVER 48Fo G652D CABLE
a. General requirement
Cable type is crossing river with 48 single-mode fibers G.652D. Fibers and
loose tubes color code is in accordance with EIA/TIA-598.
Cable has structure of 2 fillers and 4 loose tubes which contained 12 fibers.
Detail structure of the cable is as follows:
- Central strength member (CSM) is made from glass fiber or non-metal
material with high tension strength.
- Loose tubes are made from Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or
equivalent material. Loose tube filling compound protects the fibers
against water ingress, vibration and enable optical fibers to move easily
in loose tubes.
- Fillers have the same size with loose tubes and have distinctive colors to
distinguish from loose tubes.
- Water blocking tape wraps around the cable core and water blocking
yarn inside it: Has an ability to prevent water ingress well follow vertical
and horizontal direction of cable (or use filling compound to prevent
water ingress from cable core and infiltrate along the length of the cable)
- Inner shield is made from PE (Polyethylene) or similar material. Inner
shield has to be circular, with no holes, joints, repair signs and other
defects.
- Steel corrugated tape layer is made of corrugated steel or equivalent
material.
- Second inner jacket is made from the PE (Polyethylene) or similar
material, make sure circular sheath, no holes, joints, repair points and
other defects
- Armor (Sheath strength member): Is made of galvanized steel or
equivalent material (1 layer or 2 layers). This layer has an ability to
withstand high tension and low-level elongation.

115
- Outer jacket is made from the HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) or
similar material, make sure circular sheath, no holes, joints, repair point
and other defects. Outer jacket must have ability to work for a long time
underwater without any sign of water penetration.
If Bidders use similar materials or more components than the above-
mentioned components, the Bidders must provide detailed information about the
properties of the materials and demonstrate the equivalent of materials with
above-mentioned materials. Viettel will check the materials in a organization
that is certified by Vietnam Government.
Bidders must provide detailed information about the size (diameter,
thickness) of the components of the cable.
All of the technical requirements will be checked and measured by Viettel
or by an organization that is certified by Vietnam Government.
Cable label is written by request from Viettel after contract is signed.
