2. Cable Handling
1. All optical fibers cables are sensitive to damage during
handling & installation.Some of the important parameters
that need to be special attention during cable installation
are:
Optical fiber cables are designed with particular minimum
bending radius. The cable should never be bent below
minimum bending radius at any location. Doing so can result
in higher bending losses and/or internal breaks in the fiber.
Generally the bending radius of a cable is greater than 20D,
where D is the diameter of cable.
2. Exceeding the minimum bending radius of the cable can
cause damage to the fibers, which cannot be seen from
outer surface of the cable. This can also lead to expensive
restoration of cables at later dates.
