Abstract

This paper concerns the characterization of various trunks of an OPGW based network. No strong fiber aging has been observed but combined OTDR and PMD measurements have pointed out strong cable clamping at suspension pylon. Large local losses have been measured at both 1.55 micrometers and 1.6 micrometers and stress induced birefringent behavior have been experienced. PMD temporal evolution has also been studied. A correlation between temperature variation and PMD evolution has been observed.
