Installation Requirem ents
The general installation requirements for installing fiber optic cable should follow the
NECA/FOA 301 Standard for Installing and Testing Fiber Optic Cables
, including
receiving and handling fiber optic cables on site, support structures, fiber stopping, and
grounding.
The specific requirements for installing fiber for the Matrix PS system are:
Install premises cabling in cable trays, ladder racks, j-hooks, or other
appropriate support structures.
Install outside and inside plant cables in conduit (yellow) or plenum protected
innerduct (bright orange) to identify fiber optic cable and protect it from
damage.
Follow the NECA/FOA 301 standard for fiber optic splicing and termination
hardware.
Do not install fiber optic cable in conduit or duct that already contains cabling
(such RF, Ethernet, or power).
Ensure properly installed support structures and patch panels for fiber optic
cable are available for routing cable from hdHost PS and airHost PS to
remotes.
9.1.3
Testing Requirements
After installation, verify each fiber in all fiber optic cables by performing the following
tests:
Continuity testing to ensure that the fiber routing is correct
Insertion loss testing using an OLTS power meter and source. Use TIAEIA 527-
7 for single mode fiber.
OTDR testing (optional) to verify cable installation performance
