Principles Of Fibre Optic Cable Installation

By Earlene McGee


During the installation of any fibre optic systems, there are certain guidelines that must be followed to make sure that the end product will function effectively. For example, for this to be effective there should be minimum power lost during the procedure and also the time and cost of procedure should be as low as possible. Every fibre optic cable installation must be very reliable and safe. The following are some of the important factors that may be considered.

The first and most important thing that every installer is supposed to consider when doing these kinds of work is the environment. There are very many things about the environment that should be taken very seriously by every single cable installer. The process ought to be done according to all the environmental requirements. Taking care of the environment is very important for the well-being of everyone therefore nobody must overlook this responsibility.

There are also some procedural limits that must always be considered to making certain that the system works effectively. During the actual placing of the cable, the installer ought to make sure that it is not twisted and its radius is not bent otherwise it will not work as expected. There is also a certain temperature range that the cables should be in hence the installers are supposed to take this into consideration.

Every tube has a diverse load limit that should be considered before handling the process. When purchasing the cables, the technicians are supposed to ensure they have looked at the data sheet so as to get the guidelines of connecting them in the required load limit. This piece also gives some strategies on how the technician can minimalize the load when connecting these systems.

The load on the cables can be limited during the installation process but it is not possible to reduce it after the process. Lubrication is one of the methods that can be applied to reduce the load and the friction. However, only cable lubricants should be used. This task can also be achieved by reducing the length of each cable as this will help to reduce the load.

The cable placement is also supposed to be done in the most professional manner possible. This should also be done very carefully to avoid breakage or bending of the radius. Installing various cables in the same path helps to reduce the risk of bending or breaking the radius.

After all the cables have been successfully installed, the next task is the preparation of its ends so that the connector installations can be done. These tubes are not built to withstand exposure to open air hence they should be handled very carefully by the installers so that they cannot be damaged and fail to do what they are required to.

The guidelines listed above are just examples of the many factors that must be considered when installing a fibre optic cable. To ensure that all the things listed above are taken into consideration, the installer who is granted this job must be very responsible and qualified.
