Fibre optic cable installation specifications.

A fiber optic cable also known as an optical fiber cable is an assembly similar to an electrical cable but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. Fiber optic cable types multimode and single mode. Optical specifications of particular concern are attenuation and bandwidth which are currently specified at two operating wavelengths for each fiber type. When installing optical cable what you don t know could really hurt you or damage your cable.

Recognising the cost pressures in rolling out an optical fibre cable network cbi telecom incorporated and number of ease of installation features in its range of duct optical fibre cables from easy strippable final sheath configurations to optimised designs for air assisted or blown installation into existing sub and micro ducts. Cable s optical and mechanical performance specifications. All printing errors are subject to correction in subsequent releases of this catalog. After the fiber optic cable is installed into a duct or innerduct end plugs should be installed to provide an effective water seal.

The ducts and innerducts should be kept free of debris and maintained watertight at all times. Although general cable has taken precautions to ensure the accuracy of the product specifications. Specifications for fiber and fiber optic cable can be divided into four categories.

The methods used to place fiber optic cables in ducts are similar to those used to place copper. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed. Corning s innovative optical micro cabling solutions include the following. A new fiber optic installation standard.

Underground installation of optic fiber cable placing. Fiber optic connectors and cables are present in nearly every communications project that we might sell into be it a das installation or a base station with wireless backhaul you can be certain that fiber jumpers and cabling are being used somewhere in that network. Optical mechanical environmental and dimensional. Familiarizing yourselfwith standard 301 is a smart step to avoid such problems up until a little over a year ago an installation standard for optical cable didn t exist.
