What problems should be paid attention to when transporting and installing optical fiber cables？

Optical fiber cable is a signal transmission carrier for modern communication. It is mainly produced by four steps of optical fiber through coloring, sheathing (loose and tight sheath), cabling and sheathing (depending on the process). Once the protection is not good during the construction on site, it will cause great loss if it is damaged. So what problems should be paid attention to during the transportation and installation of optical fiber cables?

1. The fiber optical cable reel with the optical cable should be rolled in the direction marked on the side plate 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.  

2. Lifting equipment such as forklifts or special steps should be used when loading and unloading optical cables. It is strictly forbidden to roll or throw optical cable reels directly from the vehicle.

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

4. The optical cable should not be reversed multiple times to avoid the integrity of the internal structure of the optical cable. Before laying the optical cable, a single-reel inspection and acceptance should be carried out, such as checking the specification, model, quantity, test length and attenuation. There is a product factory inspection certificate (should be kept properly for future inquiries), and be careful not to damage the optical cable when removing the optical cable guard.

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

6. The laying of aerial fiber optic cable should be pulled by pulleys. The aerial cables should avoid friction with buildings, trees and other facilities, and avoid dragging the floor or friction with other sharp objects to damage the outer skin of the optical cables. Protective measures should be installed if necessary. It is strictly forbidden to forcibly pull the optical cable after jumping out of the pulley to prevent the optical cable from being crushed and damaged.
