How to lay optical fiber cable on the bridge?

     The optical fiber cable is laid in a variety of environments. Bridges are naturally one of many environments. How can we safely lay cables on bridges? Optical fiber cable manufacturers to tell you.

     The optical fiber cable is laid on the bridge, mainly based on different environments to determine different laying methods. Laying cables on wooden bridges should be done with a pipe. If it is a bridge with other structures, a cable trench should be placed under the sidewalk, or an optical fiber cable should be inserted into the refractory material to ensure safe use of electricity. If there is a place on the bridge where the human body is not easily accessible, the cable can be laid barely, but care should be taken to avoid direct sunlight. It is important to take necessary protective measures.

     The optical fiber cable manufacturer reminds you that if it is a suspended cable, the net distance between it and the bridge structure should be no less than 0.5 meters. If the bridge is installed in an area where earthquakes occur frequently, or if the bridge itself is often subjected to vibration, anti-seismic measures should be taken when laying cables. The cable at the ends of the pier and the position of the expansion joint should have a slack part, which should not be excessively tight to prevent breakage when vibration occurs, resulting in a safety accident.
