How To Protect The Optical Fiber Cables During Transportation and Installation?

During the transportation and installation of the optical fiber cables, there will always be some problems. How can we avoid such kind of problems? Without considering the quality of the fiber optical cable itself, we believe that the performance of the optical cable will not "actively deteriorate" if the following points are achieved:

1. The optical fiber cable reel with optical cable should be rolled in the direction indicated on the side panel of the reel. The rolling distance should not be too long, generally not more than 20 meters. When rolling, care should be taken to prevent obstacles from damaging the packaging board.

2. When loading and unloading optical cables, lifting equipment such as forklifts or special steps should be used. It is strictly forbidden to roll or throw the optical cable reel directly from the car.

3. It is strictly forbidden to lay or stack the optical cable reels with optical cables flat. The optical cable reels in the carriage must be equipped with protective wooden blocks.

4. Optical fiber cables should not be turned over many times to avoid the integrity of the internal structure of the optical cable. Before laying the optical cable, the appearance inspection, specification model, quantity, test length and attenuation and other single-reel inspection and acceptance should be carried out. Each reel of optical cable is attached with a product factory inspection certificate on the protective plate (which should be properly kept for future reference). Be careful not to damage the optical cable when removing the optical cable protective plate.

5. During the construction process, it should be noted that the bending radius of the optical cable shall not be less than the construction regulations, and the optical cable is not allowed to be excessively bent.

6. The laying of overhead optical fiber cables should be pulled by pulleys. The overhead optical cables should avoid friction with buildings, trees and other facilities, and avoid mopping or friction with other sharp and hard objects to damage the outer skin of the optical cable. If necessary, protective measures should be installed. It is strictly forbidden to forcibly pull the optical cable after it jumps out of the pulley to prevent the optical cable from being crushed and damaged.

7. When designing the optical cable line, flammable objects should be avoided as much as possible. If it cannot be avoided, fire protection measures should be taken for the optical fiber cable.

8. In the construction of laying optical cables with relatively long sections, if the cable needs to be turned over, the cable must be laid in the shape of "8". Make the cable completely twisted.

9. The selection of optical cable joint boxes must meet the requirements of the qualified joint boxes of YD/T814-2004 standard, ensuring that the curvature radius of the optical fiber in the joint box is not less than 37.5mm, the remaining length of the optical fiber in the joint box is not less than 1.6m, the reinforcement of the optical cable is firmly fixed on the joint box, and there is no twisting between the optical cable and the joint box. The joint box has excellent sealing performance and can prevent the entry of water vapor.

According to our many years of sales experience, the performance of optical cables is always artificially damaged. There is no problem with the optical cable itself. These problems are not standardized. I think I can't buy the products I want even if I spend more money.
