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 cable has a different load limit that must be considered before undertaking the procedure. When buying them, the installers are supposed to make sure they have read the data sheet to find out the guidelines of installing the system within the load limit. This sheet also gives some guidelines on how the installer can minimize the load when installing the cables.

The load of the cables may be limited when installing but it cannot be reduced after the installation has been completed. Lubrication is an example of the things that can be used to minimize the load and also the friction. Nevertheless, only cable emollients should be utilized. This task may also be attained by decreasing the length of every cable as it will help to decrease 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.
