Fibre Optic Cables in Windmill Farms Windmill farms are built nowadays all around the world for getting more and more pure energy. Today s windmills are very efficient, and windmill farms can also consist of tens or even more than 100 windmills. The use of separate windmill efficiently and safely requires reliable control systems, alternatively radio links or fibre optic cables. Both alternatives have their own benefits but fibre optic cables are used often because of their excellent features like being immune against all kinds of disturbances. Nestor Cables has delivered fibre optic cables and accessories to many windmill farms in Finland. Based on these experiences Nestor Cables has developed an own cabling concept for windmill farms consisting of all the materials for fibre optic cablings both for small and large windmill farms. Since the control systems are just a small part in these kind of large projects, the cabling concept includes as few products as possible. The main products are as follows: Fibre optic cables Splice cabinets Termination boxes to windmills Patch panels and connection cabinets to power station 19

Fibre optic cables Fibre optic cables are generally installed to the same canal and to the road bank as power cables. Thus the cables shall be non-metallic and also rugged enough to be installed directly into the ground. For that purpose Nestor Cables has two cable types: one with 4 12 optical fibres and the other with 24 192 fibres. 20 Non-metallic buried cables FYO2RMU 3,5 kn and FZ4RMU Flex 3,5 kn Splice cabinet NC-360A with the inner cabinet Splice cabinets The simplest way in cablings is to install optical cables directly from the power station to each windmill but quite often, and especially in large windmill farms, the cabling is ensured with two cables to each windmills. These two cables can be taken directly to windmills but very often these cables are terminated to splice cabinet outside the windmills and two alternative cables goes from the splice cabinet to the windmill.

Termination boxes to windmills The termination boxes have to be tight because the humidity level inside the windmills can be very high and additionally the boxes need to have enough capacity for terminating up to 24 fibres. Nestor Cables new NC-135A termination box meets all these requirements. (Left side) Termination box for windmills NC-135A and a preassembled patch panel NC-232; (right side) Connection cabinet NC-2000 Patch panels and connection cabinets to power station In power stations fibre optic cables are typically terminated to normal 19 patch panels, mounted to connection cabinets with active equipment. For this purpose Nestor has developed own products: connection cabinet NC-2000 and pre-assembled patch panels NC-232 with 12, 24 or 48 fibres. The construction of the NC-2000 cabinet includes e.g. clear pathways for incoming cables to patch panels and enough space with guides for controlling even a big number of patch cords. Nestor s patch panel is easy to install and it can be mounted directly on top of each other. For protecting patch cords the panel has cable guides with a removable protection plate. 21

Mobile Optical Cable Units Several military applications utilize tactical fibre optic cables to create temporary mobile cable networks. Nestor Cables has offered mobile optical cable unit solutions for military purposes already for years but now these solutions have been modified to suit civilian everyday events and are available to all our customers. Different kind of public events often demand temporary fibre optic cable connections. Such events could be for example sports events, exhibitions and music festivals. Also crisis situations can create a sudden need for quickly installed telecommunication networks. These solutions have proved their stability and functionality in harsh military conditions. Solutions mainly consist of the following products: Connectorized cable units Special reels Carrying frames Reeling and unreeling equipment Connection boxes 22

Microduct Cabling Solution Installing telecommunication and access network cabling in metropolitan and suburban areas can be demanding. In this kind of areas space is limited and cabling should be done underground or on existing infrastructure. These limitations can be overcome by Microduct Cabling Solution of Nestor Cables. Microcabling system is built directly to the ground or on duct routes. Access and metropolitan network infrastructure is widely built by laying duct systems underground (aerial duct solutions are also available) which then can be utilized to answer various customer needs. Microcabling system allows flexible expansion of the network. After microducts are installed, microduct cables can be easily blown in microducts whether building a new network or expanding existing network. By using microduct technology CAPEX and OPEX can be significantly reduced. Microduct cabling solution consists of: Fibre optic cables NesDuct microducts Connection accessories 31

Why microduct cabling solution? High fiber density of low weight microduct cables combined with ease of handling these cables, increased jetting speeds and improved duct and space utilization result in reduced costs. Microduct cabling solution offers versatility because wide variety of cables, ducts and accessories in different sizes and styles can be configurated in endless ways in nearly all possible cabling scenarios. Solution is perfect for growing and changing cities and neighborhoods: during the installation you don t need to know how the cable network should look like years ahead because microduct network can be altered easily afterwards. In our past projects microduct cabling solution has been proven to be a great success. Microduct Cabling Solution by Nestor Cables has been tested in several projects all around the world. Recently Nestor Cables has supplied microduct cables, ducts and accessories to various projects in Russia and Europe. Our products have been widely used in changing conditions (from warm summers to freezing winters) in Northern Finland for years, so we can assure that our products can withstand even extreme climate and conditions. 32 Photographs show installation of microduct cables in our recent projects.

Microduct cables High quality microduct cables tailored to fit your needs Space can be saved when using microcabling system.
