Specifications for direct-buried optical cable laying
101 describes characteristics, construction and test methods of optical fibre cables for buried application. This cable data sheet may be found under the reel lagging board or laminated prot ctiv e maximum tensile load for various cable types. The maximum pulling tension for stran ed loose tube cable is 600 lbF (2,700 Newtons). (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. The methods described are intended for guideline use only, as it is impossible to cover all the various conditions that may arise during an installation. This cable is built to specific tolerances to heat, moisture, conductivity, and soil acidity.
