Home / Construction Standards for Optical Fiber Cable Pole Routes
163 describes criteria for the installation of optical fibre cables defined in Recommendation ITU-T L. (FOA) was founded in 1995 to help develop the workforce to build the fiber optic networks to support a rapid expansion in communications and the Internet. Recommendations for Fiber Optic Cable Installation Where reels are supplied with protective material fitted over the cable, the protection should remain in place until the cable will be installed. Sections are included for project management; cable handling, testing and equipment; overhead cable placement; underground cable placement; underground enclosures; bonding and grounding; cable.
In order to effectively pull cable without damaging the fiber, it is necessary to identify the strength material and fiber location within the cable. Then, use the method of attachment that pulls most
