Installing cables

Heat shrink sheets are used for many of fhe same applications as heavy wall shrink tubing. The advantage of the sheet over a tube is that it can be conveniently slipped over the area to be protected, for example, over continuously installed cable. There are many methods to close the heat-shrinkable sheets, such as zippers, rail and channel, heat-sealable bonds, etc., some of them patented. ...

Check Cables for Proper Orientation A common problem when putting a computer back together is putting a cable on upside down (this frequently happens when installing cables for floppy drives). When this happens, the computer will get erroneous signals from the device. A rule of thumb for internal cables is to orient the cable so that the red wire is toward pin 1. A common indication that the floppy cable is on upside down is that the floppy light will be on constantly.

The use of fiber optics FBG sensors is attractive because a single optical fiber can carry several FBG sensors, which can be independently interrogated hence, the installation cabling issues are greatly simplified if FBG sensors are used instead of the more...

Often the fire behaviour of cables is considered the main factor in a telecommunications system. In addition to the cables themselves, the performance resulting from any passage through walls must be considered. Sealing of power cables as they enter a building is usudly carried out, but there is often little control of the open holes created when installing cables within a building. 

Another method of installing cable into duct is by moving the cable along the duct length using the action of a high-velocity air or other compressed fluid acting on the cable jacket. Air-assisted installation... 

To reduce the issues associated with installing cable in the last mile of all-optical networks, especially in densely populated metropolitan-type environments, alternative deployment methods are being developed. 

To terminate optical cable in the field, a fiber optic pigtail may be used. A pigtail is typically a single-or multi-fiber cable that has been connectorized at the factory on one end only. The other end remains nonterminated and is spliced to the installed cable. This joint can be either a fusion splice or a mechanical splice. After splicing, the splice point is placed inside a protective splice tray, which is then housed in fiber... 

The traditional practice of installing cables or cabling systems dedicated to each new application is allbut obsolete. Instead, designers and users alike are learning that proper planning of a structured cabling system can save time and money. For example, a cable that is installed for point-to-point links should also meet specifications for later upgrades as it becomes part... 

Electrical safety systems such as those detailed above will also assist in reducing the risk of fire caused by damage to installation cabling caused by vermin however, these systems should be supported by active management to control vermin for the risk of fire from these areas to be avoided or minimised. 

Concerning fibreglass optic cables, the whole procedure of installation, cable termination and jointing, as well as subsequent testing needs to be carried out strictly to the manufacturer s requirements. After installation continuity and attenuation are verified.
