Steps For Making Good Fiber Optic Installation

By Dorothy Olson


It is true that the installation method is very easy and efficient but there are other tasks which are very hard and tactic. This is because the fiber optic installation is flexible since the cables are light and hence the process is fast and accurate. The job is same as any other type of installation although different methods and instruments are needed for the task.

There are available methods which are used for this job but they differ from each other. Some of these cables have to pass under the soil while others have to go through the water bodies according to the places they are to be placed. The ones which pass underground are used on outside activities while the one underwater is used indoors. The cables are made for different purposes hence made from different material. This has made it a mandatory for any technician to carry out this task to know the following rules before starting the process.

Having a look over all the possible sites where the wire will pass through is one of the roles which help the person in charge of the job to determine the path. This will also help in knowing the machines to use and the placement of them before the take off date. This will also help the person in charge to determine where to start the operation and where to stop.

On this survey, you will be able to determine the length in which the cable will have to be stretches and pulled to reach the destination. Therefore, you will decide on the best machines for the task so there will be no hiccups during the operation. The days in which the task will take will be determined and hence the cost of installation will be well calculated.

At some points during the installation, lead will have to be bent and twisted hence the need to have appropriate apparatus for the action. This should be done very carefully since if you twist the wire wrongly, it will break. Therefore, the best tip to keep in mind is that the cable should bend to twenty times the radius while the 10 times the line diameter.

Since the cable is water proof, the putting in place can be done on any ground passing through the lake or any water source. This process is curried out differently by the use of different techniques. When installing the fiber in your home and wire must pass through the pool, it is better to dry it first to avoid electric shock during the lighting. The testing process should be done from lighting box and fixed properly on the fixture for a desired fitting.

You finish the job and now it is time for testing the performance of lead and whether you have achieved the desired fitting. There are different methods you can use for this purpose. One of the tools to be used is microscope which is to be used in determining any defect and scratches made on the coating. The other device is optical time sphere which is used to determine the length of lead.

However, there are other rules but they defer from wire to wire. The one discussed above are the basic ones which must be applied in any type of wire set up. In order to do the work professionally, you must follow the following steps known as the fusion splicing or mechanical one.
