Vertical fixing of optical cables

For all fiber trunk cables and fiber jumpers, which do not run in con-duit, we recommend fixing them at intervals of 0,80 -1 meter vertically and 1 meter horizontally. Only clamps with appropriate diameter are used to fix the cable to the structure. Correct installation of fiber optic cable is one of the first and most important steps to ensure that the optical fiber network performs properly. Always handle the equipment with the adequate care. Install cable always with factory-mounted installation tubes / pulling sock. Applications Engineering Note (AE Note) addresses the maximum er must know the maximum long-term tensile load of the cable since this is the tensile load the cable can wi stand over time. Failure to do so can result in life-threat t truck or on a ladder so that it cannot fall. [pdf]
