Optical Communications Rules of Thumb

Аннотация

One of the topics addressed herein is the management of cables in which large numbers of fibers are protected. Clearly, this is a critical topic in these days of constant demand for increased bandwidth, regardless of application. We also include the issue of allowing the field worker to recognize different fibers in these dense cables by use of color. Similarly, a number of rules relate to the problem of pulling cables through ducts and the size of the cables that can be accommodated. With increasing fiber density a common trend, we have included a number of rules that relate to this topic, including flat and tube-like installations.
