2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION INFORMATION

2.1 General

SiMTaCS is a single mode tactical fiber cable system designed for use by the Swedish Defense.

The system should allow flexible use, in different environments such as ground, in trees/poles and water installations, in all kind of weather.

Different users will form autonomous small battalion networks providing full communication within the brigade network as well as with other connected division networks. The autonomous brigade network will also provide connection to other networks.

Personnel with short training time will handle the SiMTaCS. It is therefore important that the system is easy to handle.

SiMTaCS will exist in five different versions:

SiMTaCS2 two-channel optical fiber system, for use with small two-fiber connectors.

SiMTaCS4 four-channel optical fiber system, for use with more ruggedized four-fiber connectors.

SiMTaCS12 twelve-channel optical fiber system, for short-range networks and use with twelve-fiber connectors.

Fan out cables to SiMTaCS2, SiMTaCS4 and SiMTaCS12

Patch panel cables

The next chapters will define the respective versions of SiMTaCS.

2.2 Cable definition

The Single Mode Tactical Cable, SMTC, consists of a ruggedized fiber optical cable. The number of fibers will be two, four or twelve. Those cables are referred to as SMTC2, SMTC4 and SMTC12.

SMTC shall be of a flexible type, i.e. from a cable reel the cable shall be able to be laid out and retrieved many times.

Use of the SMTC shall be possible during all seasons of the year and in most parts of the world. During periods, SMTC may be immersed in water of some depth.

After use, SMTC shall be able to be collected and stored during considerable periods and thereafter to be used again.

SMTC consisting of two, four or twelve optical single mode fiber shall be assembled as a non-metallic cable for protection of the fiber from the physical and chemical environment that the cable will be exposed to. The cable is specified in this specification.

2.3 Lens connector definition

The Optical Fiber Lens Connector for Single Mode Fiber, LECO, consists of a rugged connector with lenses for two, four or twelve optical single mode fiber. The connector is referred to as LECO2, LECO4 and LECO12.

The LECO will be used together with a rugged field cable and shall therefore be designed to facilitate the handling of the cable in field conditions.

Each version of the LECO connector exists in a cable and bulkhead model. The cable connector is to be applied on the SMTC field cable used in the SiMTaCS system. The bulkhead model is a connector to be installed in the front panel of the optical line termination unit used, or other equipment of interest. The bulkhead connector will be in two variants. One variant is to be equipped with a square flange and one variant is made for attachment in a D-hole.

The LECO will be used all seasons of the year and in most parts of the world. During periods, LECO may be immersed in water of some depth. After use, the LECO must be able to be collected and stored during considerable periods and thereafter to be used again.

The LECO shall be assembled in a way so that the connector is protected against the physical and chemical environment that the SiMTaCS system will be exposed to.

The connector is specified in this specification.

2.4 Interface cables to SiMTaCS2, SiMTaCS4 and SiMTaCS12

The interface cables to SiMTaCS versions are defined as a LECO connector equipped with respective indoor cables with LC connectors or SMTC cable.

2.5 Patch panel cables

The patch panel cables are defined as indoor cables equipped with LC connectors in each ends.

2.6 Cable reel definition

The cable reels are specified in appendix 2 to this specification.

The cable reel 105 is lightweight and rugged for tactical use during all seasons of the year and in most parts of the world. The cable reel is constructed for use with Swedish Defense standard equipment for cable laying and retrieving.

2.7 Assembly of SiMTaCS

The assembly of SiMTaCS consists of following steps:

Spooling cables from factory drum to cable reels Termination Lens Connectors Testing Packing and marking

The assembling of SiMTaCS is specified in this specification.

2.8 Operational environment

The SiMTaCS will operate in mobile communication networks used in military field service, which means that the networks where the SiMTaCS is one part may be moved several times, each day. It is therefore essential that the SiMTaCS will facilitate handling and operation of the network.

2.9 Environment exposed to the SiMTaCS

2.9.1 General

SiMTaCS shall be able to operate without degradation in the following categories according to climate AECTP-200: A1-A3, B1-B3, C0-C3 and M1-M3.

2.9.2 Different environmental conditions

SiMTaCS can be exposed to four different environmental conditions of varying extent. These four conditions are:

Operation Transport Storage Maintenance

2.9.3 Environmental conditions during operation SiMTaCS

As the SiMTaCS is intended for use in mobile tactical applications, SiMTaCS will be laid directly on the ground and in shallow water. Installation on the ground could include swamps and small water collections.

To some extent, SiMTaCS will also be hung in trees or on poles. During certain times of the year, there is a risk of ice formation on the cable.

2.9.4 Environmental conditions during transport

SiMTaCS will be transported on cross-country trucks, covered or open, or transport carts or air freighters together with other transmission material. SiMTaCS will be exposed to shaking, vibrations and dropping. The temperature and humidity vary with the surroundings.

2.9.5 Environmental conditions during storage

SiMTaCS will be stored in three different types of storage’s:

Cold stores (sheet metal sheds or similar where temperature and humidity are completely controlled by the weather conditions).

Dry stores (cold stores with controlled humidity, maintained at approx. 45-50 % relative humidity).

Heated stores (where the temperature does not fall below +4 °C and where the relative humidity varies with the surroundings).

2.9.6 Environmental conditions during maintenance actions

SiMTaCS will be maintained at three different maintenance levels.

At local level, i.e. outdoors in the open field or in a simple tent. At regional level, i.e. in a small workshop. At central level, i.e. using advanced workshop facilities, including an optical workshop.

2.10 EMP and lightning protection

Shelters and vehicles used in the communication system will have a primary protection against EMP and lightning. Since the shelters and the vehicles are not completely shielded and the primary protection will give some residual over-voltages, it is essential that all lines to connectors intended for connection to cables are able to handle secondary over voltage surges.
