Cabling White Papers: Cabling Installation & Maintenance
Whitepapers

MicroCare Corp Logo Clean & Inspect for 21st Century Optical Networks
The problem with many, if not most, fiber installations is the raw speed with which companies demand these installations to be performed. In many instances, repairs performed after the initial installation are handled by different people, different companies and/or even different budgets, so in many instances there is no incentive to deliver a quality installation. The author analyzes this scenario and suggests a simple practice which will dramatically improve the quality of fiber installations without delaying the job, which should have a significant multiplier effect on the quality of the network.

Field Testing Installed Optical Fiber Cabling

This joint white paper prepared by Legrand | Ortronics and Fluke Networks reviews best practices for the technician performing field tests on installed optical fiber cabling.  As traffic over networks expands and expectations of reliability increase, testing optical fiber cabling after installation is more important than ever before to assure the end user that the installation was done properly and that the cabling will support Local Area Networks (LAN) into the future.

Best Practices for Tier 2 Fiber Certification

Extended (Tier 2) fiber certification helps characterize individual events that are invisible when conducting only loss/length (Tier 1) testing.  Only with a complete fiber certification will installers have the most complete picture of the fiber installation and network owners have proof of a quality installation.

Although currently considered a complementary test by industry standards, it has long been considered a best practice by fiber experts.

Best Practices for Inspecting & Cleaning Fiber

For centuries, optics have been inspected and cleaned to ensure the proper passage of light. While inspection and cleaning fiber connectors is not new, it is growing in importance as links with increasingly higher data rates are driving decreasingly small loss budgets.

Most people have their own approaches for cleaning end-faces.  However, because dirty or damaged end-faces are the top causes behind fiber failure, it’s critical to follow a best practice routine for cleaning and inspection. Learn how with this quick-read white paper.

Best Practices for Tier 1 Fiber Certification

By conducting loss/length certification of the fiber cabling infrastructure, you are ensuring that it can support the associated bandwidth demand and network applications accord­ing to prescribed specifications.

Not only do industry standards require loss-length fiber certification for nearly all fiber links today, but it is also a best practice that enables your network applications to run at peak performance.
