Knowledge Part 4 : Fiber termination for FTTH

Hi to all readers.
We are proud that our little blog has received visitors from nine (9) countries including ours; Malaysia.
We always treat our blog as a knowledge platform to share with all readers out there. In this part 4, we would like to share on our experience involving in Fiber-To-The-Home termination works.

In Malaysia, this FTTH project was lead by our giant telco company, Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM).
Below are step-by-step in performing fiber termination work for outdoor distribution panel.

Step 1 : Cutting the outer jacket of fiber optic cable

Step 2 : Remove the outer jacket of fiber optic cable

Step 3 : Pulling out the nylon rope inside the cable to the desired length

Step 4 : Pulling out the loose tube through the nylon rope line

Step 5 : Cutting out the strength member

Step 6 : Clean up the loose tube using approved cleaner and tissues

Step 7 : Put the cable end to the desired incoming cable port

Step 8 : Lock the cable and strength member with screw

Step 9 : Coil the unused / spare loose tube first

Step 10 : Strip the loose tube using the tube cutter

Step 11 : Pull out the loose tube and clean up the dark fiber

Step 12 : Setting up the dark fiber and pigtail using fusion splicing machine and splice

Step 13 : After splicing done, coil the excess dark fiber on the tray

Step 14 : Fiber termination work done and lock the distribution panel properly

Step 15 : Bring up the panel to the pole location

Step 16 : Terminate the panel using stainless steel tie onto the pole

Step 17 : Coil the cable and tie it with jubilee clip. It's done!

Knowledge Part 3 : Good & Bad Splicing

Most fiber technicians or some people called it "Fiber Jointer" can performed a good splicing which resulting low splicing loss. But even we can splice with 0.01 dB loss or without any losses, technicians must ensure the fiber coiling inside the splicing trays are properly arranged.

 Photo 1 : Arrange fiber properly inside the splice tray

Photo 2 : Carefully place the fiber / pigtail orderly

 Photo 3 : Bad arrangement of fiber patchcord during patching

Installation of pedestal plinth @ Jln Kebun, Shah Alam

The installation of HSBB for Jln Kebun, Shah Alam was completed for some schemes in April 2010

1. Pre-cast concrete plinth mobilise to site


2. Hacking existing concrete foundation and a make rectangle hole

3. Wall coring on existing manhole to allow for 2 way PVC long bend pipes

4. Plastering the plinth and existing manhole and let it dried first

5. A snapshot of completed plinth for pedestal


. 
6. Drill the concrete to allow for 2 unit steel wall plug


7. Installation of pedestal onto the plinth and prepare for termination

8. Works completed

Knowledge Part 2 : Type of fiber optic cable

Hi all readers,
Thanks for some of our follower readers who always come back and check-out our latest posting.
During last "Knowledge Part 1", we explained in very brief on what is fiber optic is all about.
In this entry, we will discuss on the type of fiber optic cables which largely used in installation, either indoor or outdoor.

INDOOR FIBER OPTIC CABLE
In market nowadays, there are a lot of indoor cable types which clients could choose. Please don't make assumption that, the armoured fiber optic cable is only for outdoor application as this theory does not make sense today. Armoured cable comes with additional protection features which the fiber extra-protected by corrugated steel tape (blue or green color) to avoid the cable from being bitten by pesticide animal.

In most cases, the cable was bitten by rats even the cabling was installed inside the building's trunking.
Opss sorry maybe we made a long written entry here. So let's view the sample photo of the type for indoor fiber optic cable below:

1. Breakout indoor fiber optic cable

2. Distribution indoor fiber optic cable


3. Loose tube indoor fiber optic cable


4. GYXTW armoured indoor fiber optic cable


5. Flat duplex indoor fiber optic cable


   OUTDOOR FIBER OPTIC CABLE
So now let us see the type for outdoor cable:

1. Aerial loose tube outdoor fiber optic cable


2. Double layer armoured loose tube outdoor fiber optic cable

There are a lot of outdoor fiber optic cable types to be listed, but two main criterias differentiate were either loose tube or slotted.


 Now we already discover two main topics and in the mean time, let us take a break first
