In an attempt to enhance reliability and performance of optical fibers, special care is paramount, especially in the process of installation. Some crucial guidelines regarding tensile loads, squeezing, minimum bend radius, and twisting must be considered. As a matter of fact, connectors must be protected free from scratching and contamination at all times. Close attention must be paid to these factors as violation of any parameter causes profound attenuation and damage to the conection. It is therefore worth considering the following insights on fibre optic cable installation.
When planning for the placement, begin by carrying out a site survey. This preliminary visit of the site is intended to familiarize you with the general conditions and ascertain the specific locations and circumstances that call for special attention. The survey entails identifying potential challenges such as high temperatures, weak walls and operating machinery to help provide for them well in advance during routing. In addition, this stage enables you to get acquainted with the building code and regulations in place and to seek for clarification from the relevant resource person concerning the same.
After surveying, you then develop an effective cable pulling plan. The plan ought to communicate to the fixation team the considerations noted in the site survey. It entails logistics on cable let-off or pulling equipment, splice and intermediate access point locations. In addition, the plan must outline the particular responsibilities of each and every member of the team involved in the fixation.
The actual process of connection entails specific systematic procedures. When laying out the fiber optic, it is worth knowing that they are sensitive to moisture, and hence ought to be enclosed by a heavy tape or end cap always. There are numerous techniques applied in pulling, but whatever the method employed, always attend to the let-off reel.
During the exercise, be sure not to exceed the minimum bend radius. Remember that every wire poses a minimum installation bend radius value. When placing them, it is important not to bend the cables to a smaller radius. On installing and after removing the pulling tension, they may only be bent to a radius not smaller than the specified long term application length of the radius. Coiling and wrapping is allowed as long as it does not violate the constraints of minimum bend radius.
Remember to observe the maximum cable recommended length. Though fiber optics are stronger than copper wires, the maximum tension pulling should not be exceeded in any phase of installation. As a general rule, most wires for outdoor application have a strength ranking of 2700N. There is also a maximum load value for fiber optic that is recommended for long term application.
The maximum load value is also a matter worth your concern for long term application. There is a set upper load value for long term performance. Always ensure that the remaining tension after connection is less than the maximum value. For those engaged in vertical clamping, clamp the cables such that the interval between them is regular and sufficient to ensure that the weight remains within the set limit.
Finally, it is necessary to document the process. A good record keeping is important as it ensures that the process is done correctly and simplifies future upgrading and troubleshooting. Record the special lot number labeled on the shopping spool. Both pre and post installation test information should be recorded in a logical and orderly manner.
