3. Securing the fiber along its routing path is
best done with non-conductive
tie-wraps at even intervals every 1-2 m
(3-6 ft) depending on the types of features
that must be navigated. Use electrical
tape as a temporary attachment to assist in
installation as indicated in Figure 17 . When
securing tie-wraps, ensure that fiber is not
pinched excessively as this can degrade
the optical signal. Cables can be bundled
together and routed for ease of installation
whenever possible. Ensure to clip all extra
length from tie-wraps once they have been
secured.

Do not fasten or attach ANY mounting
hardware (tie-wraps, etc.) to at least a 30 cm
(12") length of fiber between the portion of
the Probe at high voltage and its first
non-energized point of contact. This section
of suspended fiber provides increased
dielectric strength to the probe and therefore
must be left unsecured and ungrounded. It is
good practice to maintain more than 30 cm
(12") of suspended fiber, but not required.
