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. NOTE: The below considerations are not intended to encompass all installation practices. CAUTION: Before starting any cable installation, all personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all applicable Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulations, the National Electric Safety Code (NESC), state and local regulations, and company practices and policies.
