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. ' The Fiber Optic Association (FOA) recently published a standard titled "FOA Standard For Installing Fiber Optic Cable Plants. Existence of a standard shall not preclude any member or nonmember of NECA or FOA from specifying or using.
