 Storage, Transportation, Handling & Installation Procedure

5. Continuously monitor the pulling tension while pulling the cable.

6. Use Swivel tool in between pulling eye and pulling rope to avoid cable twisting.
7. Don’t allow to exceed the pulling tension beyond specified limit given by the manufacturer.
8. Do not bend the cable beyond recommended limits.Exceeding the bend radius harms the fibres. It may not be
immediate, it may even take a few years but eventually by exceeding the recommended bend radius of the
cable, useful life of the cable reduces.
9. Avoid longer pulls. (Maximum 1 km at a time).
10. Before blowing the cable inside the duct or directly burring inside the ground, lay out the cable in figure 8 pattern
11. Various chemical cleaners and adhesives are used during preparation of Optical Fibre cable for splicing. The safety
instructions defined as defined in MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) of these materials should be followed.
12. Do not touch your eyes while working with Fibre optic systems until they have been thoroughly washed.
13. Do not drop Fibre pieces on the floor where they will stick in carpets or shoes and be carried elsewhere. These fibre
pieces are

extremely sharp and can easily penetrate the skin. And any delay in taking the Fibre out of body could lead to infection,
which is dangerous. Therefore utmost care must be taken to depose the broken ends of Fibres created during termination
and splicing.

STORAGE:
1. The Storage area should be clean and dust free.
2. The warehouse should have temperature and humidity controls.
3. The storage temperature of the cable should conform to the temperature range specified by manufacturer.
4. If stored for longer duration the exposure to the direct sunlight and rainwater to the cable should be avoided.

Keeping Cable
No Drum Flat Or
Stacking Slanted May Cause
Fibre Damage in
The Cable.
