FAQ on Fiber Optic Cable Handling and Installation

1.What is the distinction between copper cable and fiber optic cable? 


Despite the fact that fiber optic cables may look like customary copper cables, we ought to dependably remember that inside fiber cables are delicate glass fibers which can be broken effectively if not appropriately took care of. Checkout ob-one for more info. 


2. What are the most essential things to obey in fiber cable installation? 


Amid any fiber optic cable installation venture, we should remember two vital things: First, never finished curve the fiber cable over its base twist sweep. Second, never pull over the cable maker's cable pulling strain determination. 

3. What is Minimum Bend Radius (MBR)? 


Fiber cables all have a base twist range determination by the producers. This the base bend span while bowing the fiber cable in either installation process or after the installation in its last resting position. You can make bigger bends however never littler than indicated. 


4. What is Loaded MBR? 


It is the fiber cable curve span particular amid a cable draw as in the installation procedure. The cable must not twist more tightly than its stacked MBR whenever amid the installation procedure. Stacked MBR is bigger than emptied MBR as clarified beneath. 


5. What is Unloaded MBR? 


It is the fiber twisting range determination in the cable's last resting position after installation. That is the point at which the cable isn't under any strain. Frequently, this spec is dictated by a basic increase, for example, 15~25 X OD (fiber cable outside width). 

6. What is Fiber's MBR? 

 

Fiber optic cables are made out of individual fibers (strands). Singular fibers likewise have a base twist sweep determination, which is normally 2~3 cm and is considerably littler than coat cables. 


7. What will happen if a fiber cable is twisted littler than its base twist sweep? 


Bowing a fiber cable over its MBR is one of greatest factors in fiber harming in fiber cable installation ventures. This training can either break within fibers or increment fiber lessening (fiber control misfortune) over the maker's particular.

 

Regardless of the possibility that within fibers is as of now broken, you may not perceive any physical harm to the outside coat by any means. The outcome is, you need to supplant the entire segment or even the whole length of cable. As a decent practice, all fibers should be completely tried after cable installation.
