Knowing Simple Ways For Fiber Optic Cable Installation

By Jerry Gray


Optical fiber is a type of cable that is consists of one or more optical fibers wherein the elements are often coated with plastic layers and are contained inside a protective tube that is suitable to the place where it will be placed. There are many different types of cables that may be used. One popular type is the long distance communication that provides a high speed connection between different parts of the building.

Optical fibers are very reliable and have a high quality because these are made strong. But microscopic surfaces from the process of its manufacturing may reduce the strength. Two things to be considered relatively with the fiber when installing, cabling, or handling is the change with time and the strength. The main purpose of writing this article is to provide very simple ways and ideas about fiber optic cable installation Vancouver.

These fibers are consists of a core and cladding layer. In typical fibers, the cladding is usually coated with acrylate polymer or polyimide. This will protect the fiber from any damage but it will not have any contribution to the optical wave guide properties.

If it will be installed inside, the fiber will be enclosed with bundles of fibrous polymer in a cover, in which the weight is less, to form the cable. The cover is made from plastic. The end of each is placed with optical fiber connector to easily connect or disconnect it from any equipment. For tough environments, robust cables are required.

In Vancouver, BC, these are usually installed in ceilings, walls, or under floors and these are usually placed wherein there is a permanent outlet location. The conduit or the channel may be made from a metal tubing or polyvinyl chloride plastic. To ease the installation, always use fish tapes or pull cords to hold the conduit in place. Installing it in dropped ceilings is the most easiest way since the ceiling is composed of panels that are removed easily.

Cable trays may be used safe, convenient, and efficient as well because it can be placed in any types of location. These locations may be in riser shafts, on the ceilings, or even below the floors. And since these are open for use in any kinds of cables, other different routes may also be placed together in the same tray.

For cabling in vertical risers or shafts, the application have an intended maximum vertical rise value which is being calculated and assigned to them. This is the distance in which it can be pulled. In pulling the cable, a split wire mesh grip must be used. This is important to avoid the crushing of the core while pulling.

Outer jackets have to be removed for the exposure of cables. After removing the jacket, ripcords and clear tapes are cut back to jackets. Central strengths should also be trimmed. Some other central strengths are also cut back to jackets to avoid interfering with the termination.

There are already many tools available for stripping the buffer and coating. The removed amount of the buffer will depend on the procedure of application and termination. There is also a provided checklist that you must consider upon installation.
