There are certain factors that must be considered when setting up a fiber optic system to make sure that both the installation and the performance is enhanced. A successful fibre optic cable installation is supposed to have minimal power loss, a low cost and time of procedure. The process is also meant to turnout safe and reliable. In order for all of these goals to be met, there has to be some guidelines followed.

The first and most important thing that every installer is supposed to consider when doing these kinds of work is the environment. There are very many things about the environment that should be taken very seriously by every single cable installer. The process ought to be done according to all the environmental requirements. Taking care of the environment is very important for the well-being of everyone therefore nobody must overlook this responsibility.

Aside from the environment, there are also some additional things that can be checked to make sure that these cables function efficiently. When placing them, the installer is required to do it in such a way that the cables will neither be bent nor broken. They are also required to check the temperature range within which the make their installations otherwise their work will be useless as the system will not be able to work.

Every cable has a different load limit that must be considered before undertaking the procedure. When buying them, the installers are supposed to make sure they have read the data sheet to find out the guidelines of installing the system within the load limit. This sheet also gives some guidelines on how the installer can minimize the load when installing the cables.

The load on the cables can be limited during the installation process but it is not possible to reduce it after the process. Lubrication is one of the methods that can be applied to reduce the load and the friction. However, only cable lubricants should be used. This task can also be achieved by reducing the length of each cable as this will help to reduce the load.

The technician is also required to make certain that the placements of these cables are carried out in the most cautious way possible. This is since they are required to avoid interfering with the range of fibres. They can fit various different tubes on a single tube path to diminish the chance of bending or breaking the radius.

After all the cables have been successfully installed, the next task is the preparation of its ends so that the connector installations can be done. These tubes are not built to withstand exposure to open air hence they should be handled very carefully by the installers so that they cannot be damaged and fail to do what they are required to.

The guidelines mentioned above are simply examples of the various factors that should be considered when setting a fibre optic tube. To make certain that all the guidelines listed above are considered, the technician who is given this task must be very accountable and qualified.
