6. Do you have a map of the fiber routing? Does the fiber run uninterrupted<br />
between locations or are there splice junction boxes, repair splices or hub<br />
rooms where the fiber transitions between buildings?<br />
7. Has the fiber ever been tested and if so do you have loss figures or OTDR<br />
printouts?<br />
8. Are you using dark fibers that are part of an existing system?<br />
9. What function do the fibers perform that are in use? Ethernet? Video?<br />
10. What color jacket does the fiber you plan to use have? Orange? Yellow?<br />
11. What color sleeve does the connector have that you plan to use? Green?<br />
White or Black? Blue?<br />
12. If you plan to rack mount any fiber equipment, what width are the existing<br />
racks? Do you have permission to use them? Are there electrical outlets<br />
available?<br />
13. What is the average ambient temperature of the room where your active<br />
fiber equipment will be housed? Will it be over +40 degrees C.?<br />
14. How many channels of video do you plan to transport via your fiber?<br />
15. Is this an AM/VSB (CATV/MATV) application or L-Band (950-1450 MHz<br />
digital transport) application?<br />
16. Do you plan to use existing optical couplers to split the fiber signal to<br />
feed multiple locations? If so, do you have the model numbers and loss<br />
data of the couplers including their wavelength?<br />
17. Will you require fiber jumpers to connect transmitters to couplers,<br />
equipment to patch panels, patch panels to outbound fibers etc? If so,<br />
how long do they need to be and what type of fiber and connectors will be<br />
required?<br />
18. Will the fiber signal require amplification after it is received? (what signal<br />
level do you need at the receive sites to feed the appropriate<br />
equipment/units?)<br />
19. Will you be splitting the optical signal in locations other than 19” rack<br />
mount headends or hubs? If so, what are the environmental conditions?<br />
20. Will your optical receivers be collocated with AC power sources?<br />
21. What are the lower and upper frequency limits of your source channels?<br />
22. Do you own any fiber test equipment? OTDR? Power Meter?<br />
23. Are you planning to use any other existing fiber equipment besides cable<br />
or patch panels? Transmitters? Receivers? Do you have the data sheets<br />
and specifications for this equipment?<br />
