Cable trench backfilling and optical cable splicing

OFC Trenching | PDF

The document outlines steps like obtaining permissions, excavating trenches, laying ducts, providing additional protection, backfilling trenches, and performing optical tests after installation.

FIBER OPTIC CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS

Cross-Plate anchors are installed in a diagonal bored hole, which is undercut so the anchor is at right angles to the guy. A rod trench is either cut with a trenching tool or drilled with a small power auger.

GO 128

All communications equipment in a manhole, or other underground splicing chamber with supply cables or conductors, shall be marked if different ownership than the supply cables or conductors.

EXCAVATING, TRENCHING, BACKFILLING, and SURFACE

Keep trench width to a minimum to allow proper jointing of utility and compaction of bedding and backfill. Organize operations to keep time of open trench to a minimum.

Buried Cable Installation

Direct buried fiber optic cable installation practices are essentially the same as those used for placing copper cable. The following methods of direct burial of fiber optic cables will be addressed: plowing
