    Cabling Rules
    Try to avoid running cables parallel to power cables.
    Do not bend cables to less than four times the diameter of the
    cable.
    If you bundle a group of cables together with cable ties (zip
    ties), do not over-cinch them. You should be able to turn the tie
    with fingers.
    Keep cables away from devices which can introduce noise into
    them. Here's a short list: copy machines, electric heaters,
    speakers, printers, TV sets, fluorescent lights, copiers, welding
    machines, microwave ovens, telephones, fans, elevators,
    motors, electric ovens, dryers, washing machines, and shop
    equipment.
    Avoid stretching UTP cables (tension when pulling cables
    should not exceed 25 LBS).
    Do not run UTP cable outside of a building. It presents a very
    dangerous lightning hazard!
    Do not use a stapler to secure UTP cables. Use telephone
    wire/RJ6 coaxial wire hangers which are available at most
    hardware stores.

    Fiber Optic Cabling Infrastructure


    Components:
    Fiber Cable
    Fiber Pigtail
    Fiber Connectors
    LIU
    Coupler
    Fiber Patch Cord
    Cabling

    Fiber Optic Connectors


    Terminates the fibers
    Connects to other fibers
    or transmission
    equipment
    Cabling

    Fiber Patch Cords & Pigtails


    Ends are typically either
    SC or ST
    Pigtails have connectors
    on only one side and
    Patch Cords have it on
    both sides.
    Pigtails are spliced to
    the fiber to terminate the
    fiber
    Patch Cord connects
    switches to the Fiber
    cable

    Outside Plant
    Fiber is blown in HDPE
    Pipes, 1 m deep.
    The HDPE pipes is
    covered with sand and
    brick lining
    Fiber Roles are typically
    2 Km. Fiber cables are
    spliced using Jointers
    Faults like fiber cut are
    located using OTDR
    (Optical Time Domain
    Reflectometer)
