Microsoft Word
Traffic cones may be used, depending on the conditions of the area, to assist with creating the loop spacing of 8'' to 12'' between loop centers for most fiber cable sizes. (figure 13)
General Optical Fiber Cable Installation Considerations
For loose tube and ribbon cable, the bend radius is specified at 20 times the cable diameter during tension/installation conditions and 10 times during static conditions (check the data sheet).
FIBER OPTIC CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
Fiber optic cable sequential numbers are required at each pole location and vault wall. Sequential numbers will identify conduit length, and slack left in vaults and at poles.

Optical Fiber Cable Installation Guideline
When laying loops of fiber on a surface during a pull, use “figure-8” loops to prevent twisting the cable. The figure 8 puts a half twist in on one side of the 8 and takes it out on the other, preventing twists.
Optical Fiber Cable Installation Guideline
While fiber optic cables are typically stronger than copper cables, it is still important that the cable maximum pulling tension not be exceeded during any phase of cable installation.
