Home / Regulations for the Transportation and Placement of Optical Cables
163 describes criteria for the installation of optical fibre cables defined in Recommendation ITU-T L. Different types of cables have different characteristics and, as such, are subject to specific directives or regulations. This work materialized through the development of good practices, procedures and specifications documents, reflecting a certain state of the art at a given time, and the result of a consensus of all stakeholders (op lable. How can we avoid such kind of problems? Without considering the quality of the fiber optical cable itself, we believe that the performance of the optical cable will not "actively deteriorate".
