Why are there two bend radius values for each fiber optic cable?

The bend radii of each fiber optic cable specify the minimum bending radius allowed during and after installation.

Can indoor/outdoor fiber optic cables be directly buried or hung?

Generally, the materials and constructions of indoor/outdoor fiber optic cables prohibit them from being directly buried. Unlike outdoor-only fiber optic cables (also called OSP for Outside Plant), the jacket materials used for indoor/outdoor cables must help the cable pass the appropriate flammability tests for indoor use, such as plenum and riser. Outdoor-only cables typically use materials that are very robust (harder) and have other qualities that prevent them from passing indoor flammability tests. Additionally, outdoor-only cables are not rated, meaning they have not passed any flammability test and cannot be used indoors per the U.S. National Electrical Code. Burying a cable can also crush it so it is typically recommended that only cables that state “direct bury” in their characteristics be buried. Hanging an indoor/outdoor fiber optic cable is acceptable. This can be done with a lashing machine or even UV-resistant tie-wraps for very short runs. Indoor/outdoor fiber optic cables should be UV-resistant and have a fungicide in the jacket material as well. This ensures that regardless of the cable’s jacket color, it can be installed for long-term outdoor use as well as indoor use.

Testimonial

Our Partners Share Their Experiences

"PCA’s lifetime warranty allows me to be flexible when sourcing copper connectivity components from different manufacturers”.

“It’s a small industry, we’ve installed over 100 jobs of Proterial’s cable throughout our 15 year partnership. Within that 15 years, we haven’t had cables failing due to integrity.”

"The availability’s there, there’s not huge lead times, and the techs like it. When you install 2,000 cables and test them out, nothing fails because of attenuation and little crosstalk issues. We don’t have those issues with Proterial. You put it in, and it works."
