Principles Of Fibre Optic Cable Installation

By Earlene McGee


There are certain factors that must be considered when setting up a fiber optic system to make sure that both the installation and the performance is enhanced. A successful fibre optic cable installation is supposed to have minimal power loss, a low cost and time of procedure. The process is also meant to turnout safe and reliable. In order for all of these goals to be met, there has to be some guidelines followed.

The environment is very important and it should be taken into consideration when installing any kind of system including the fiber optics. There are certain limitations that the installer of such systems is supposed to take care of so that they can work according to the conditions of the environment. This is one of the most important principles of this process that must never be overlooked.

Apart from the surrounding, there are some additional factors that must be tested to make certain that the cables work efficiently. When setting the cables, the technician needs to do this in such a manner that the tubes will neither be broken nor bent. They are also expected to check the heat range within which they do their installations or else their work will be hopeless as the structure will not be capable of working.

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 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.
