Installation Methods All manufacturers recommended installation methods to be followed. Testing of spools for acceptance Testing end to end after installation, see 27 13 23.26 for testing requirements. 27 05 43.40 Fiber Optic Duct Microduct system. – A. Specifications Microducts, depending on application, shall have either: an OD of 12mm and ID of 10mm. With an orange oversheath for multiple ducts. Microduct colors shall be: Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate, White, Red an OD of 8.5 and ID of 6mm. System may be direct buried or installed within existing duct system. All ducts installed in the outside plant shall include a copper tracer wire, minimum 20AWG, for locate purposes. Installation Methods All empty and unused microducts are required to be capped with manufacturers approved caps, for both inside and outside plant. All oversheaths, microducts and tracer wires shall be labeled in accordance with DoIT’s labeling standards (see section 27 05 53) Manufacturer’s installation methods shall be followed. Proper support and maintenance of bend radius shall maintained. Microducts shall be joined together to form pathways based upon DoIT’s fiber plan. Coupling of microducts is to be determined by project. Manufacturers recommended couplers shall be used to create contiguous fiber pathway. Microduct organizers shall be used. Microduct system installed in Manholes. See Attachment A. Oversheath shall be run a minimum of two feet into manhole. Oversheath shall be cut away and microducts shall be run around the perimeter of the manhole once. Oversheath and microducts shall be installed tightly against walls and should be fastened to walls or existing cable management system. Special care shall be taken to keep ducts out of the way of people coming in and out of the manhole. Microducts and fiber cables installed within shall be installed as high as possible within the manhole to avoid submersion.
