100 describes characteristics, construction, test methods, and performance criteria of optical fibre cables installed by pulling method for duct and tunnel application. Note that Recommendation ITU-T L. YOFC ensures a stable quality control system for our cable products through several programs including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHS. Optical fibres are housed in loose. Corning Optical Communications cable specification sheets are available which list the maximum tensile load for various cable types. The maximum pulling tension for stranded loose tube cable and ribbon cable is 600 lbF (2,700 Newtons). Refer to the cable specification sheet for the specific allowed. This measuring method applies to optical fiber cables which are tested at a particular tensile strength to examine the behavior of the attenuation and/or the fiber elongation strain as a function of the load on a cable which may occur during installation.

Cable blowing is the process of installation of optical fiber cable into a pre-installed duct. Compressed air flows at high speed through the duct . ing and blowing a cable in a duct and the impact on the cable designs. The cable installation method is selected based on site conditions and availability of machinery & resources. Mainly manual. Blowing uses continuous airflow or water flow to suspend and push the cable forward through the duct. HOLIGHT Fiber Optic serves global FTTH and ODN deployments with passive fiber-optic components compatible with both. This book describes and compares several methods for installing cables in ducts.
