The following contains information on the placement of fiber optic cables in various indoor and outdoor environments. In general, fiber optic cable can be installed with many of the same techniques used
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.
Before the installation begins, carefully inspect the cable reel for protrusions such as nails and broken flanges which might cause damage to the cable as it is unreeled.
An outside plant cable installation may require several different types of cables depending on the method of installation and the route of the cable plant, e.g. where some cables are installed
Check the cable data sheet for the specific installation and operating temperature rating. [+] Inside Building Applications: Outside plant cable should not be routed more than 50'' inside a building.
