Installation guidelines of optic fiber

Follow the manufacturer's instructions, since nobody knows how to handle the cables as well as the company that manufactured them. The fiber optic cable is often custom-designed for installation and the manufacturer may have specific indications for its installation.

Check the cable length to ensure that the cable being pulled is long enough for the planned cable run. If possible, try to complete the installation of a single run. Before any installation, evaluate the route carefully to determine the installation methods and obstacles that may arise. 

Tensile stress

Cable manufacturers install special mechanical resistance elements, in general aramid yarn (Dupont Kevlar) to absorb tension when the cable is pulled. The fiber optic cable should only be pulled through these resistance elements, unless the cable design allows it to be pulled by grips. Any other method could strain the fibers and damage them.   

The swivels should be used to hook the rope or pull belt to the cable to prevent the cable from twisting during cable drag.

The cables should not be pulled by the jacket unless it is approved by the cable manufacturers and the mesh used is an approved one, in general the so-called "Kellem type fastener", also these fasteners are usually tied to the reinforcement elements.
