  1. What To Know About Fiber Optic Cabling? Are you planning to install Ethernet cables at your home or business establishment? Then you might have researched the different cable types that are available in the market today. Apart from the category Ethernet cables that are being used for a long time, you probably also came across fiber optic cables and their unavoidable features. Yes, choosing to connect your multimedia outlet to a fiber optic cable is perhaps a better and productive option for you. However, no matter what cable you are going for, if you don’t install them properly, their advantages are of no use. In case, you have decided to go for the latest fiber cables, let us go through some of the basic things about fiber optic installation that will prevent you from making any unnecessary mistakes. Minimum Bend Radius: Whenever you are going to install fiber optic cables, the first thing to keep in mind is that you are maintaining the cable’s minimum bend radius. Do you know why it is so important? It is so because when you bend the cable beyond its bend radius, it can lead to attenuation and can ultimately damage the cables. Make sure to note down your cable’s bend radius when installing fiber optic cables so that you know the limit beforehand.

  2. Get All The Required Tools: As far as technological advancements are concerned, there are a lot of tools in the cabling sector as well that makes cable installation effective and easier. When we talk about fiber optic installation, fiber optic connectors are one such tool that you can get. It is used to connect the cables with any device and is mainly used in sectors such as telephone exchange. Make Room For Future Cables: While setting up the cables, don’t just think of your present needs but future possibilities as well. For example, when fixing up the cables in the duct, install it in a way that you have enough space to add more cables if needed. This way you don’t have to reinstall the cables again and also prevent the clustering of cables together inside the duct which is a very common reason why cables get broken easily. Go For Slack Wiring: One of the popular fiber optic cabling techniques is slack wiring. Slacks are distinguished by loops that are wrapped around the cable. For any other cable type, slack wiring can be an extra expense and may overcrowd the duct, but it isn’t the case for fiber cables. Slack wiring is easily adjustable for the fiber cables. The longer slack you get, the safer your fiber cabling will be. If you haven’t tried it before, you can consult someone who has. Conclusion: Installing a cable is more than just fixing them up. You have to be certain that you are keeping factors such as safety and efficiency in mind. Besides, the above-mentioned points will allow you to avoid common mistakes.
