What is the compensation standard for fiber optic cable laying

What is the compensation standard for fiber optic cable laying

163 describes criteria for the installation of optical fibre cables defined in Recommendation ITU-T L. (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. Because they are quality standards, NEIS® may in some instanc s go beyond the minimum requirements of the NEC. Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and ISO/IEC cabling standards for fiber optics and structured cabling, for example, are written by manufacturers for manufacturers, and as such are much more useful to manufacturers of cables, connecting hardware, networking electronics and test. Deploying fiber above ground on poles or towers removes the need for underground digging and is particularly useful when the ground is uneven, rocky or both.
