Fiber Optic Cable Reel Rules

Home / Fiber Optic Cable Reel Rules

This Applications Engineering Note (AE Note) addresses common issues regarding cable pay-off during outside plant installations known as cable squirting, cable tangling during payoff, and reel storage. Recommendations for Fiber Optic Cable Installation Where reels are supplied with protective material fitted over the cable, the protection should remain in place until the cable will be installed. The rotary joints are protected inside the drum for durability and seamless deployment of single or multi-channel fiber optic and/or electrical cable with uninterrupted optical and/or electrical signal. A check list is also provided to cover these plus other issues that are related to placing cable. The reel's structural components consist of two flanges, central drum, flange bolts, SmartReelTM test connector and horizontal wood slats (Figure 1) that keep the reel in alignment and protect the fiber cable from any damage that may occur during transporting and storage.
