5. PACKING AND DRUM
5.1 The cable is wound on a non-returnable wooden drum. Both ends of cable are securely fastened to drum and sealed with a shrinkable cap to prevent ingress of moisture. The following information shall be marked on the outer sheath of the cable at an interval of about 1 meter.
- Cable type and number of optical fiber
- Manufacturer name
- Month and Year of Manufacture
- Cable length
The sequential number of the cable length shall be marked on the outer sheath of the cable at an interval of 1meter ± 1%.
5.2 Drum marking, Each side of every wooden drum shall be permanently marked in a minimum of 2.5~3 cm high lettering with following:
- Manufacture name and logo
- Cable length
- Cable type and number of fibers
- Roll way
- Gross and net weight
-End of Specification-
