This document outlines the basic specifications for a fiber optic network connecting a control building to multiple antennas. It includes the use of 12 connectorized fibers, with 8 in service and 4 as spares, dedicated to C, D, and E arrays. Each fiber is a home run from the antenna to the control building, utilizing Corning SMF-28 or equivalent single-mode fibers. Key features include zero dispersion at 1310 nm, FC/APC connectors, and gel-filled, loose tube design for underground cabling. The plan details trenching and cable management within a large vault.
