QFCI optical fiber cable, Orange sheath, item 27
Fire resistant cable
QFCI
Indoor and outdoor
Fire resistant
Flame retardant and halogen free
Loose tube
Optical cable for indoor and outdoor use in vital
communication and emergency systems that need to
be operational during fire. The cable has a patented
design that ensures operation for more than 3 hours in
fires up to 1000ºC. The cable is halogen free and flame
retardant to protect against secondary damage to
electronic equipment during and after fire. Outer
sheath is made from black UV-stabilized and weather
resistant material and may be exposed for shorter
periods to fluids such as diesel, petrol, glycol, etanol,
white spirite and ASTM oil 2. The resistance to these
fluids is according to DOD-STD-1678, method
8030.The cable is reinforced with a steel wire braiding.
The fibres are protected in jelly filled loose tubes
stranded around a central strength member to ensure
optimum performance and long life. Each fibre and
loose tube is colour coded for easy identification during
splicing and termination. The outer sheath is marked to
show fibre type and cable type.

to the material.
2. The smoke index values of the fillers, bedding and sheathing
materials are higher than specified in MIL-C-24643 due to the

PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT
1. After inspection and testing withnessed by COMPANY's representative the cable ends are sealed.
The cable is packed on our standard wooden drums and lagged.
2. The cable drums are marked in accordance with instructions given in the Purchase Order
documents.
3. Both cable ends are free, (the inner end comes out through the drum flange) and the cable can thus be tested
while still on drum.
UNPACKING PROCEDURE
1. Remove the hoop-irons, they are not nailed to the lagging.
2. Remove the lagging, which is nailed to the drum flanges.
3. The cable is now ready to be pulled.
SHIPPING AND STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
The drums may be lifted by forklift truck or through the center hole.
The drums must be stored in the upright position, small drums may be stored in two layers, use stoppers at the end
of the bottom row. The drums may be sent by rail, ship or air.
During shipment the drums are prevented from starting rolling by placing (wooden) stoppers underneath by the
flanges, like this:

HANDLING OF CABLE DRUMS
Although genereally tough, cables can be
damaged by impact, pinching or abrasion. Payoff spooling shall be an easy operation. Through
faulty handling cables may slide or "crawl". This
can result in pinching or locking and cause
damage.
Tightening
Due to changing weather conditions or transport,
wooden drums may slightly shrink or loosen
which necessitates retightening of the flange
nuts.
Rolling of drums
To prevent cable "crawl", drums must be rolled in
the same direction as the cable has been laid up
on the drum from the factory. This is especially
when the wooden lagging has been removed.
Care must be taken when drums are rolled
against each other, specially when cardboard
protection is used, or if wooden lagging has been
removed.
Lifting
When using wires or ropes for lifting,
they must be parallell to the flanges
to prevent inward pressure. (Use
spreader.)
When using a fork lift truck the forks
must be applied across the flanges and
have sufficient reach.
Drums must be lowered gently, not
dropped.

Doc. title: Technical Data Book

Cables
Stacking
Drums MUST be stacked or stored
STANDING on the flanges, not lying flat. Wood
chocks should be placed onder the flanges to
prevent accidental rolling. When stacking it is
essential to have the flanges meet, particulaly
with heavy drums. When cardboard protection is
used, stacking should be avoided.
Inner Cable End
Normally the inner end protrudes through one of
the flanges. It is well protected on leaving the
factory, but may protrude somewhat because of
its stiffness. Special care must therefor be taken
to prevent damage by lifting tackle, drums or
other objects, and to prevent the protruding end
from causing damages to its surroundings.
Temperature
Handling and spooling of cables must only take
place within the specified temperature range (as
specified in contracts, sales documents, manuals
etc.) The cable needs time to adjust to changes
in temperature. It is estimated that a full cable
drum needs about 24 hours to adjust to a
temperature change of 20°C.

Direction of spooling
The cable must be drawn off the drum AGAINST
the direction the cable has been laid up on the
drum.
Cutting
When cut, the exposed cable ends must be
taped or otherwise sealed off to keep out
moisture.
Transport - road/rail
The drums must be secured by suitable wooden
wedges pressed under the flanges and nailed to
the floor.
