Telecommunications Underground to Overhead Transition
NS235: Telecommunications Underground to Overhead Transition
This document details the minimum requirements for constructing an underground to overhead (UGOH) telecommunications transition on Ausgrid and approved TransGrid assets.
Scope
The intent of this document is to provide technical compliance requirements that must be addressed in the design and construction of communication UGOH’s on Ausgrid assets. It is neither practical nor possible to cover every issue that may arise during a network rollout. In the event that clarification is required the reader must contact the Manager, Communications Engineering. This standard only covers UGOH design and construction for Ausgrid’s telecommunication assets.
The UGOH is to be designed and constructed to provide an optical fibre cable transition from an overhead to underground network. This transition will comprise of an optical fibre cable termination on the UGOH pole, the cable will then transition down the structure to a splice closure and pit via conduit housing.
