Cable manufacturers follow NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) WC 26, Binational Wire and Cable Packaging Standard for minimum drum diameters on cable reels. Selection of proper reel (spool) size depends on the length and overall diameter (O. Reel in a Box is Corning's innovative packaging solution for small reels of fiber optic cable in all inside plant applications, such as collocation data centers and wireless projects. The reel's structural components consist of two flanges, central drum, flange bolts, SmartReelTM test connector and horizontal wood slats (Figure 1) that keep the reel in alignment and protect the fiber cable from any damage that may occur during transporting and storage.

Based upon the cable route survey and the equipment/manpower resources available, a cable pull plan should be developed. Reel and winch location should be inspected for suitability and plans should be made for installation techniques such as back feeding or use of. This guide will explain the entire set of activities involved in installing Fiber optic cable contractors -from the early planning stage right through testing-for facility managers, IT teams, and low-voltage contractors to build high-performance networks safely and efficiently. It is imperative that certain procedures be followed in the handling of these cables to avoid damage and/or limiting their usefulness. Fiber optic installation delivers unmatched network performance for modern businesses, providing greater bandwidth capacity and superior resistance to electromagnetic interference compared to traditional copper cables. When installing fiber optic jumpers and copper patch cords from the patch panel to active ports within the same cabinet, use a combination of horizontal and vertical cable management to route cables from the left side of the patch panel to left side active ports, and the right side of the patch.
