Home / Construction procedures for laying optical cables in ducts
Basic guidelines that can be applied to any type of cable installation are as follows: Conduct a thorough site survey prior to cable placement. Strictly observe your company's lead handling procedures to eliminate this hazard. More than one technique can be used in the same network based on the specific circumstances of the network building.
Installation procedures for open placement of fiber optic cables are the same as for electrical cables. Care should be taken to avoid sudden, excessive force so as not to violate tensile load and radius
