How to Install Buried Fiber Optic Cable
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the installation of fiber optic cables in direct buried applications, ensuring proper techniques are followed for optimal performance.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Tractor with plow, Shovel, Figure-eight machine
Supplies needed:
Fiber optic cable, Warning tape, Backfill material
- Conduct a pre-survey
Inspect the installation route for conflicts and obstructions, marking locations for splice cases and ensuring safe access for the splicing vehicle.
- Prepare the trench or plow path
Stake the right-of-way (ROW) and mark all underground structures. If using a plow, ensure the equipment is suitable for the terrain and cable depth.
- Install the fiber optic cable
Begin plowing or trenching the cable at the designated depth, ensuring to maintain the minimum bend radius and avoid exceeding the maximum pulling tension.
- Place warning tape
After the cable is installed, lay warning tape 12 inches above the cable to alert future excavators of its presence.
- Backfill the trench
Fill the trench with clean backfill material, ensuring no rocks or debris are left that could damage the cable. Compact the backfill as necessary.
- Test the installation
Use an OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) to check for any increases in attenuation or breaks in the cable after installation.
- Seal cable ends
If any cable ends are left for future splicing, reinstall protective caps and seal them with tape before burial.
