Knowing Simple Ways For Fiber Optic Cable Installation

By Jerry Gray


An optical fiber is one type of cable which is consists of more than one optical fibers where the elements are covered with plastic covering and are placed in a protective tube which is appropriate to the placement location. Cables have different types which are used. A long distance communication is one of its popular types. It produces a high speed data connection within the different parts of a certain 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.

Fibers have cores and cladding layers. In most typical fibers, the claddings are being coated with polyimide or with acrylate polymer. When these are used, it will give protection to the fiber from any destruction. But these two may not provide contributions for the properties in optical wave guide.

When installing it indoors, fibers are enclosed with fibrous polymer in bundles, covered with a lightweight plastic for forming the cable. At then end of each, an optical fiber connector is attached in order to connect and disconnect it from the equipment with ease. Robust cables are often required when placed in tough environments.

In the city of Vancouver, BC, these are often installed in the walls, ceilings, and even under floors. These are often placed in locations where there is a permanent socket. The channel or the conduit is made from metallic tubing or from a polyvinyl chloride plastic. For an installation with ease, do not forget to have pull cords or fish tapes in order to hold the conduits in place. Installation in dropped ceilings can be the easiest way, this is because in this type of ceiling, panels can be easily removed.

Cables that are placed in a tray are very convenient and safe, and it is efficient as well to be installed in any type of location. It may be in the ceilings, below the floors, or in riser shafts. Since trays can also be used for any type of cables, there can also be many routes that maybe installed and runs to the same tray and to many different locations.

When cabling in vertical risers or vertical shafts, there is a calculated maximum value of vertical rise assigned to them. The value is the distance which it is pulled. When pulling the cable, using a split wire mesh grip is important. This is to avoid crushing the core when 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.

A lot of tools are now available for stripping the coatings and the buffers. The removed buffer amount will be dependent on the termination and application procedures. Checklists for installation should also be considered when doing the process.
