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, cables like these are mostly installed under the floors, on the ceilings, or in walls which have permanent outlet locations. The channel or conduit is being made out from polyvinyl chloride plastics or metallic tubing. For you to install it with ease, always provide pull cords or fish tapes so you can hold the channels in place. When installing in dropped ceilings, it would be very easy since these kind of ceilings often have panels that can be removed easily.

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.

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.
