FTTA Fiber Handling Recommendations

Bend Radius When installing fiber cables, tower hands should pay attention to the minimum bend radius of the fiber. Standard fiber (complies with ITU-T recommendation G.652D) can maintain a minimum bend radius of five to 15 times the fiber cable diameter. Functionally, this corresponds to about three centimeters, or about one inch. Failure to observe […]

Types of Fiber and Fiber Optic Cable Construction – FTTA Fundamentals 2

Types of Fiber An optical fiber transmits light through a flexible, transparent strand of pure glass not much wider than a human hair. It functions as a waveguide, or “light pipe,” to direct the light. On a cell tower, an optical transceiver module inside the towermounted radio converts the optical signal into electrical signals for […]
