Abstract :
This paper presents methods for the prediction and minimization of fiber optic cable pulling tension. Specialty products and installation procedures have been developed following field and laboratory research on cable tension as the fiber optic cable is pulled into conduit. Use of these products and procedures can significantly reduce the installed cost of fiber optic cable.
