8 8 Green Technology Our company aim is to combine innovation with sustainability. Our vision is to create sustainable connections in technological harmony with the natural resources. The cycle of nature gives us the best model to emulate. It is our responsibility to learn from nature and make use of it while conserving it and treating it with care. The growing scarcity of the natural resources and the increasing burden on the environment require a rethink on all levels of society. For LEONI, sustainability is an integral part of group policy. We are the first cable manufacturer in the world to develop a holistic concept for green technology. While trends like globalisation, mobility and urbanisation also determine the markets, sustainability and global responsibility are a central credo. To be considered the most innovative cable manufacturer for environmentally friendly technologies that is our goal. At that, it is of vital interest to us to detect the needs and requirements of tomorrow today and supply the markets of the future with sustainable, future-proof solutions. Green technology stands for the resource-conserving and lowemission production of sustainable quality cables made with low-pollution elements. We constantly work at optimising the efficiency with which resources are used in the manufacturing process by deploying energy-efficient machines or taking heat recovery measures. More and more locations in our global production network are environmentally certified according to the ISO standard. As a worldwide active and leading European supplier of wires, optical fibres, cables and cable systems for communication and infrastructure projects it is our responsibility to constantly optimise the sustainability and durability of our products, system solutions and services and thus lower the environmental load. We have to increase the amount of environmentally compatible raw materials in our cable products as well as the recyclability of processed materials or components and in doing so create end products that are developed for the environmental standard of tomorrow today. In conjunction with the ecological compatibility, future technologies are measured in terms of efficiency, service life, emission reduction and the conservation of natural resources. Innovative cable products and systems, holistic solutions and maximum performance in project management are the added value which we offer to our customers and business partners. These are also our cornerstones for strong connections into the future.

9 9 EU Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment. EU Directive 2011/65/EU for restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. EU Regulation 1907/2006/EC (REACh) the chemical regulation of the European Union. There are various environmental directives in the European Union (EU). Directive 2012/19/EU WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulates the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment and components. The use of certain hazardous materials in electrical and electronic devices is defined by Directive 2011/65/EU RoHS 2 (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). Chemicals and materials in general are regulated by the law on chemical substances 1907/2006/ EC REACh (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals). This means avoiding the following substances, among others: Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) Decabromodiphenyl ether (DecaBDE) Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) Pentabromodiphenyl ether (PentaBDE) Octabromodiphenyl ether (OctaBDE) Lead (Pb) Mercury (Hg) Cadmium (Cd) Hexavalent chromium (Cr VI) Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) Cables and conductors and their associated connectors are only affected by Directive 2012/19/EU WEEE insofar as they are an internal part of the listed equipment and components. What does REACh mean? REACh REACh stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. With REACh, the previous chemical law is basically harmonised, simplified and valid in all EU Member States. Cables and conductors have now been included in 2011/65/EU RoHS 2 since 2013 for the first time (Category 11 or as an internal component of the respective product). Fiber optic cables, power cables (>250 V) and installed fixed cables e.g. in premises are not concerned. The only permissible marking according to RoHS 2 is the CE marking, which is printed on the product package. Under REACh, there is a so-called candidate list with substance of very high concern (SVHC), which are subject to obligatory information and should be substituted in the long run. The list of candidate materials is updated twice per year by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki.

LEONI Multimode fibers GigaLine cables offer immediate, significant added value for your operation. At no additional charge, the fiber optic cables are now equipped with bend insensitive OM3 and OM4 fibers (j-bendable). Advantages of j-bendable fibers Greater reliability with higher packing density and installation in constricted areas due to the low bending loss. Low-risk patching in operation the data transmission remains stable despite significant bending. The doubled tensile strength of the fibers minimises the risk of a fiber tear in the patch field (200 kpsi in comparison to the standard with 100 kpsi). Maximum security for a mix and match with fibers of other manufacturers due to the minimum transition damping. Made in Germany j-bendable fibers are manufactured by the LEONI subsidiary j-fiber GmbH in Jena Germany's only specialists for fiber production. Learn more at

The fiber can be used in the wavelength ranges from 1,360 nm to 1,480 nm due to the reliably stable, low attenuation at 1,383 nm. The j-lwp SMF+ is the preferred fiber wherever maximum flexibility and long transmission lengths are required. The use of WDM systems enables the full spectrum of fiber capacity to be used the prerequisite for flexible network planning. The fiber is fully compatible with installed singlemode networks and enables network solutions with maximum performance and flexibility. Bending sensitivity at different wavelengths 1,310 nm 1,550 nm 1,625 nm Bending diameter [mm] j-lbl SMF flexible and compatible The j-lbl SMF as per ITU-T G657.A is a high-performance fieldtested singlemode fiber for applications where the need for compatibility with installed G.652.D networks is linked with the requirement for improved bending characteristics for sturdy, flexible and space-saving installations. The j-lbl SMF offers maximum transmission performance with minimum attenuation. Due to the reliably and permanently low attenuation at 1,383 nm, it can be used in the wavelength range from 1,360 nm to 1,480 nm and the fiber is therefore also suitable for wavelength multiplexing (DWDM and CWDM). The fiber exhibits excellent splicing properties thanks to its firstrate uniformity and geometry. This means it is backwards compatible with already installed conventional singlemode fibers (to ITU-T G.652.A+B) and low-water-peak singlemode fibers (to ITU-T G.652 C+D).

The Ethernet protocol is the state of the art today in every area of structured cabling. The corresponding standards for transmission rates from 1 Gigabit/s to 100 Gigabit/s are defined in IEEE 802.3ba. Attenuation [db/km] Comparison SMF G652B / G652D ITU T 652B ITU T 652D The process used to manufacture the fibers has been optimised in such a way that the profile of the multimode fiber is extremely precise and disturbances in the fiber core are virtually eliminated. As differential mode delay does not occur under these circumstances, mode-conditioning patch cords are not necessary. For more than ten years now, the standard versions of fiber optic cables with an improved gradient fiber G50/125 from the category "OM2e" have provided bandwidth-length products of 600 MHz x km in the first window (850 nm) and 1,200 MHz x km in the second window (1,300 nm) as well as Gigabit Ethernet segment lengths of 750/2,000 m. GigaLine fiber optic cables with OM3 and OM4 fibers are the optimum transmission medium, whatever the future might hold. Using the OM4 fibers with a laser bandwidth of 4,700 MHz x km in the first window enables segment lengths of up to 550 m with 10 GbE, up to 300 m with 16 Gbit/s Fiberchannel or up to 150 m with 40 and 100 GbE. This in turn enables cost-effective realisation of 10 GbE in the backbone of a building in nearly all cases. Singlemode fibers must be used over long distances. The singlemode fibers exceed the current requirements of the OS2 standard according to EN with attenuation of just 0.36 db/ km at 1,310 nm and less than 0.22 db/km at 1,550 nm. This means that the wavelength ranges around 1,383 nm can also be used to increase the transmission capacity. The graph shows the steadily dropping attenuation curve from 1,300 nm to 1,625 nm for all singlemode fibers. These characteristics and the PMD link design value of just 0.06 ps/ km guarantee large reserves for faster transmission rates over very long distances and WDM transmission systems.

21 Office DataCenter Industry FO data cables 21 GigaLine Jacketing material for optical cables Balancing application and fire prevention criteria The sheath around the cable protects the optical fiber(s) from the effects of mechanical, thermal and chemical action as well as the ingress of moisture. In the event of a fire, however, the cable sheath should prevent a fire from spreading and stop toxic and corrosive gases from being produced. The use of halogen-free, flame-retardant materials is advisable in order to protect equipment and buildings but above all to protect people. In harsh environments, PUR and PVC, in particular, are used owing to their high resistance to oils and their abrasion resistance. PE is also commonly used as a sheath material for outdoor applications. However, it is often extremely difficult to meet all the requirements using just one sheath material. To best satisfy the prevailing local operating conditions, LEONI offers a choice of different materials. Please contact us if the criteria for your particular application are not met by the cable constructions in this catalogue. Additional requirements can often be met through customised measures when making the sheath (e.g. aluminium tape or special mixtures of sheaths).

22 GigaLine 22 FO data cables Rodent protection for fiber optic cables Fiber optic cables are relatively thin and therefore very susceptible to rodent damage. Depending on the application it is important that fiber optic cables can offer protection against this type of damage. There are no national or indeed international standards or test specifications covering the corresponding requirement for rodent protection. The following construction has been customary in the market in Europe (particularly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland) since the early 1990s: For outdoor cables, the usual aramid yarns for strain relief are replaced with glass rovings. These glass yarns shatter and get into the mouth and throat of the rodents. The animals associate gnawing on cables with pain and usually stop. The general rule is: The more glass rovings, the greater the protection for the cable. The overall diameter should also be as large as possible. Constructions with stranded loose tubes give even less favourable leverage in combination with the larger core diameter. The cable then acts like a gag bit. Before the rodent reaches the glass rovings, however, it first has to gnaw through the outer sheath. Constructions with an additional polyamide sheath (thickness 0.5 mm) have also proven themselves here as polyamide is very hard and smooth. Metal armouring must be recommended as rodent protection for all applications where rodent damage is to be expected. This is the case, for example, with installation in shafts or conduits with a correspondingly large diameter, e.g. along railway lines or motorways. The following types of metal armouring are available: Corrugated steel cladding The most common metal armouring is the mm thick corrugated steel cladding due to its very good flexibility. Steel wire armour The steel wire armour made from wires with a thickness of up to 1.25 mm is very robust. Steel band Steel band sheathing consists of two overlapping layers of steel band that are wound around the cable. In the case of cables with two sheaths with sheathing between them, the ingress of water into the cable core is also prevented provided the internal sheath is not damaged. This combination of plastic, glass and moisture-absorbing swelling material has to be gnawed through before rodent reaches the loose tubes containing the internal optical fibers. Despite all precautions, however, damage to the outer sheath can never be fully ruled out.

23 Office DataCenter Industry FO data cables 23 GigaLine Pictograms Flame-retardant and halogen-free sheath The outer sheath of the cable is self-extinguishing and does not propagate fire. The halogen-free sheath material forms neither toxic nor corrosive combustion gases in the event of fire. Chemical resistance Generally good resistance to oil, petrol, acids and alkaline solutions. Rodent proof The cable core is protected against damage by rodents with glass rovings. Note: Despite all the precautions, damage to the outer sheath can never be fully ruled out. Rodent proof The cable core is more heavily protected against damage by rodents with two sheaths and metal armouring. Note: Despite all the precautions, damage to the outer sheath can never be fully ruled out. Resistance to UV rays The cable outer sheath is resistant to UV rays.

24 GigaLine 24 FO data cables Handling and safety notices when using optical cables Please note the following when installing optical fibers: Valid installation regulations for optical fibers Valid industrial safety guidelines for handling optical fibers VDE regulations (DIN EN Parts 1 to 3, Cabling installation) The following regulations also apply: The drums must always be stored and transported standing on their flanges Please note the limit values specified in the respective data sheet Do not remove the protective packaging from the cable ends during installation Do not go below the permitted bending radius (see data sheet) Avoid soiling and mechanical loading of the assembled connectors Do not exceed the maximum tensile load of the cable in axial direction before, during and after installation (use suitable aids) The maximum tensile load only applies in conjunction with adhesion with the strain relief elements Installation is not permitted if the ambient temperature is exceeded or gone below (specific value in the data sheet) Cable runs must be selected so as to avoid mechanical loads as far as possible and also minimise future loads Mechanical stresses, for example caused by movement, must be prevented, even during provisional installation Compression of the outer sheath, for example by cable ties, must be avoided when securing the cables After installation: carefully free the cable ends from the packaging/pull tool All cable ends must be protected from the ingress of moisture before, during and after installation Immersion with water must be avoided the fibers and connectors must not come into contact with water Optical fibers must be unwound from the coil or ring without torsion so that no kinks or twists can occur Install optical cables with extreme care. Please make sure that the fibers are neither overstretched nor compressed in addition to immediate damage, this also poses the threat of problems with the long-term behaviour When installing in protective conduits, please make sure that these have no sharp edges and that kinks are avoided The attenuation of each cable must be checked immediately after installation using a suitable calibrated meter, otherwise warranty claims may arise Body and eye protection must be worn when handling bare fibers from glass optical fibers, including if the cable is damaged Please note all regulations relating to eye safety
