FIBER OPTICS

When a fiber optic cable is routed with electric infrastructure (for example, within the Downtown Ductbank) the route maps should show its duct assignment. Construction detail sheets should clearly

Fiber Optic Cable Plant Documentation

This includes information on the cable, splice and termination points, fiber details, connections, paths, and test results. Proper documentation allows for easier

FIBER MARK CABLE MARKERS

Fiber Mark cable markers are a non-adhesive identification system for fiber optic cable. Produced from heavy duty, precoiled plastic, Fiber Mark cable markers can be uncoiled, then snapped into place.
