Fiber optic cable installations need expertise for efficiency
and avoid the risk of getting damaged cables.
Fiber optic cables are used for higher bandwidth and faster
transmission of data across the network.
For proper installation of fiber optic cables, it is
necessary to follow certain rules.
What to consider for
efficient fiber optic installation?
1.
Minimum bend
radius: Optical fiber cable installation is as simple as installing coaxial
or UTP cable in the horizontal. The most important factor in optical fiber
cable installation is maintaining the cable’s minimum bend radius. Bending the
fiber cable tighter than the minimum bend radius may result in increases
attenuation and broken fibres.
2.
Tensile
rating: The fiber cable’s maximum tensile rating must not exceed during
installation. The maximum permissible value is specified by the cable
manufacturer. Tension on the cable should be monitored when a mechanical
pulling device is used.
3.
Maximum
vertical rise: All optical fiber cables have a maximum vertical rise that
is a function of the cable’s weight and tensile length. This represents the
maximum vertical distance the cable can be installed without intermediate
support points. Some of the basic guidelines to follow for vertical
installations include:
·
All vertical cable must be secured at the top of
the run. A split mesh grip is recommended to secure the cable.
·
The attachment point should be carefully chosen
to comply with the cable’s minimum bend radius while holding the cable
securely.
· Long vertical cables should be secured when the maximum rise has been reached.
Apart from these three considerations there are certain
other factors that are necessary to consider while installing fiber optic
cables.
The cables within a duct should be separated with inner
ducts to avoid entangling or damage leading to interruption of the service. Any
new cable should be placed in a separate duct.
When pulling long lengths of cable through duct or conduit,
less than a 50% fill ratio by cross-sectional area is recommended.
A small amount of slack cable can be useful in the event
that cable repair or relocation is needed. If a cable is cut, the slack can be
moved to the damaged point, necessitating only one slice point in the permanent
repair rather than two slices if an additional length of cable is needed.
