In an effort to achieve effectiveness and reliability in fiber optics, it is important to pay close attention to certain parameters during connection. A well-crafted and executed placement will mean success while violation of sensitive parameters may mean dire consequences to the connection system. Before embarking on this daunting task, it is relevant to get acquainted with the procedures and consequences inherent in the fibre optic cable installation.
The preliminary step in the connection process is to conduct a site survey. The purpose of the survey is particularly to familiarize with the place and to recognize the circumstances and locations that require special attention. During the survey, physical hazards, including high temperatures and operating machinery are noted to enhance planning for cable routing accordingly. The visit also enables you to consider and appreciate the building code regulations and have any questions addressed by the relevant authority within the jurisdiction, including the fire marshal and city building inspector.
After surveying, you then develop an effective cable pulling plan. The plan ought to communicate to the fixation team the considerations noted in the site survey. It entails logistics on cable let-off or pulling equipment, splice and intermediate access point locations. In addition, the plan must outline the particular responsibilities of each and every member of the team involved in the fixation.
The actual process of connection entails specific systematic procedures. When laying out the fiber optic, it is worth knowing that they are sensitive to moisture, and hence ought to be enclosed by a heavy tape or end cap always. There are numerous techniques applied in pulling, but whatever the method employed, always attend to the let-off reel.
The effectiveness of the connection largely depends on the length of the bend radius. There is always a minimum value specified for the bend radius; ensure to observe this value. Bending them to smaller radius than this value is inappropriate. The same value applies when coiling or wrapping the cable. There is no significant limit with regards to coiling, but be sure to do it within the constraint of the minimum bend value.
Just like the minimum radius, there is also a constraint on the maximum length. Fiber optic comes stronger than copper, however, the length of the optic connector must be maintained lower than the maximum recommended length during all phases of installation. The average strength ratings of many connectors stand at 2700 N.
The maximum load value is also a matter worth your concern for long term application. There is a set upper load value for long term performance. Always ensure that the remaining tension after connection is less than the maximum value. For those engaged in vertical clamping, clamp the cables such that the interval between them is regular and sufficient to ensure that the weight remains within the set limit.
Finally, it is necessary to document the process. A good record keeping is important as it ensures that the process is done correctly and simplifies future upgrading and troubleshooting. Record the special lot number labeled on the shopping spool. Both pre and post installation test information should be recorded in a logical and orderly manner.
