Precautions for laying 4-core optical cables

Home / Precautions for laying 4-core optical cables

Where reels are supplied with protective material fitted over the cable, the protection should remain in place until the cable will be installed. (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. You should pull on the fiber cable strength members only! Never exceed the maximum pulling load rating. On long runs, use proper lubricants and make sure they are compatible with the cable jacket. Introduction This Program provides supervision, employees and safety managers with general safety rules, task safety procedures and best techniques for installation of quality fiber optic cable systems (cable handling, splicing, pulling, terminating testing and trouble shooting tasks). Failure to follow these guidelines may result in damage or attenuation increases of the optical fiber or cable.
