Home / Does the fiber optic cable tray need AB

While there are several specific types of listings for power cables, specifically for tray applications, there is no equivalent tray rating for optical fiber cables. The purpose of this AE Note is to outline the use of fiber optic cables in "tray rated" environments. OCC FOTC cables are tight-buffered, offering easier terminations and stronger capabilities with regard to crush, mpact, and bend radius. However, fiber optic cable is rapidly becoming a viable and proven industrial cabling option, with features and inherent advantages that make fiber a strong candidate for inclusion in industrial solutions.

Follow proven practices when installing fiber-optic cables

Fiber-optic cable should always be run in trays to avoid tension, crushing and bending. Tray routes should be inspected for sharp turns, snags (sometimes from other cables) and rough surfaces.
