How Do You Pull A Fiber Optic Cable?
Properly installing fiber optic cable is essential to successfully connecting utilities such as telephone, cable and high-speed Internet service. The installation process itself is known as pulling. Pulling fiber optic cable requires great concentration and sleight of hand. However, you can pull your own fiber optic cable if you prepare before pulling. Clear a lane or route through which you would like to run your fiber optic cable. Dig a trench for your cable if you plan to run it underground or through a solid material. Create a conduit. You can run your fiber optic cable through tubing. Make sure the conduit is at least 40 percent wider in diameter than the cable you intend to run. Creating a conduit is not necessary, but it is recommended, particularly if you are trying to run your fiber optic cable through a solid material. Run your pulling fixture along the route you would like your fiber optic cable to run. Thread your pulling fixture through the conduit if you are using one. Ti
