During the construction of outdoor fiber optic cables, some common problems are encountered. The following are some of the problems that may arise:
1. Terrain and environmental constraints: Terrain undulations, soil types, presence of underground facilities (e.g., pipelines, cables, etc.), and climatic conditions (e.g., extreme temperatures, high humidity) may pose constraints and challenges to fiber optic cable construction.
2. Material and equipment supply: Ensuring the timely supply of required fiber optic cables, splices, connectors, armoring materials, etc. is an important issue. Delayed or unavailable materials and equipment may delay the construction schedule.
3. Cabling path planning: Determining the optimal cabling path for fiber optic cables requires consideration of a number of factors, such as terrain, buildings, traffic roads and underground facilities. Incorrect planning can lead to unnecessary engineering and wasted resources.
4. Underground Construction Issues: When burying fiber optic cables directly, the challenges of soil conditions, underground pipes and other obstacles may need to be overcome. Excavation, drilling and burial of fiber optic cables may be required during construction.
5. Aerial Construction Issues: When erecting fiber optic cables, the stability, safety and load capacity of the poles or supports need to be considered. Also, cross-interference with other power and communication facilities needs attention.
6. Fiber optic cable damage: During construction, fiber optic cables may be damaged, such as crushed, broken, scratched or overstretched. This may result in a degradation of signal transmission quality or even complete interruption.
7. Connection and splice problems: When installing fiber optic cable splices and connectors, you may face delicate operations and demanding technical requirements. Incorrect connection and connector installation may lead to signal loss and malfunction.
8. Testing and commissioning: After the construction is completed, testing and commissioning of the fiber optic cable is a critical step to ensure the quality of signal transmission. Incomplete or inaccurate testing and commissioning can lead to undetected problems or untimely repairs.
