detail informations for Fiber optic components

July 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Fiber optic components play an important role in electrical and mechanical fields. Their importance also extends to the area of chemical of environmental elements. That is why it is very important that they are being installed properly and accurately in order to ensure their longevity and efficiency.

The installation of fiber optic cables must pass the standards set forth by the National Electric Code or otherwise known as NEC. It must also pass the stringent building codes in your locality in order to ensure the welfare and safety of the citizens.

These fiber optic cables, according to NEC, can be utilized and employed in major fields of telecommunication, raceway and remote control signaling circuits. You can also put them in cable tray or enclosed with CATV. But it is not advisable that you will enclose them together with the electrical terminations inside your house.

A couple of well-known manufacturers of fiber optic supplies in addition to Belkin are: Monster Fiber Optic and Corning Fiber Optic.

These fiber optics are enclosed inside conduits which are tubes or troughs that is used in protecting the wires and cables utilized in electrical connections and communication fiber optic lines. Conduits do not only protect fiber optics cables, but also the other types of data or communication transmission line. They are made from various materials such as fiber, PVC and PE among others.

You can also call underground conduits as ducts. As the term implies, they are placed in a hard or concrete casing underneath the ground. The conduit lines end up in manholes. On the other hand, the above ground conduits can be made from either concrete or non-concrete.

Whatever type of conduits you will choose; the best thing is to consider the following points when installing one.

Cables and Connectors

Your materials should possess good mechanical properties to ensure that they will experience longevity from the forces required in installing cables. It is also equally important to follow the bending radius of the fiber optic cable connectors and cables. You should avoid having any sharp materials or edges to come in contact with the fiber optic cables from start to end.

Furthermore, it should be flexible in a way that it will meet the requirements of possible expansion.

If you are in need for fiber optic patch cables, the Belkins Patch Cable – Lc (m) – Sc (m) – 52 Ft – Fiber Optic – 62.5 / 125 Micron – Orange is recommended.

Pull Boxes

To break up long lengths of conduits, you need to have pull boxes. They are very good in lowering down the tension of cable pulls. They are placed conveniently near conduit bends and it is very important that you place one pull box after every second bend of 90 degrees.

Cable Trays

Other fiber optic components you should be aware of are cable trays. Cable tray is another one of the terms that you need to understand in installing these cables.

Cable trays are important because they are the ones that provide an uninterrupted and strong support for the fiber cables. They can do this because they are made from materials that are durable like metal and other noncombustible materials.

In addition, the cable trays fiber optic components are available in various types that range from ladder type, trough type and channel to solid-bottom type.
