Fiber Optic Cable
• Bend radius shall be no less then 20 times the cable diameter during installation and 15 times after installation
• Accurate OTDR tests require a minimum of 100 meters or 328 feet
What’s the purpose of standards?What’s the purpose of standards?
• To establish a basis to quantify, compare, measure or judge:
capacity, quantity, content, extent, value,
and quality
• To promote interoperability of components and systems by multiple manufacturers.
Why do we have to know them?Why do we have to know them?
• To resolve potential disputes
• Produce the results expected
• Know when and where they apply
Key Areas of OSPKey Areas of OSPPlanning and InstallationPlanning and Installation
Existing Buried Utilities
• Staking / flagging / painting within 24” shall be considered a good mark
• The potholing method will be used to determine the EXACT location of the utility before proceeding with construction
• Potholing in road surfaces shall be no greater then 12” x 12”
Key Areas of OSPKey Areas of OSP
Backfilling the trenches
• Can we use native soil?• Compaction?• Concrete encasement / capping• Flow-able Fill (Slurry)• Reseeding or Sodding
Key Areas of OSPKey Areas of OSP
Road or Parking Lot Excavation
• Paved roads will be restored to original thickness or a minimum of ? thick
• Areas that are excavated must be restored within ? hours
• What method? Cut and restore, bore, casing, etc
Key Areas of OSPKey Areas of OSP
Handholes
• Are used to aid in the placement of cables
• Will not be used in place of a MH nor placed in a main conduit system
• Will not be shared with electrical
OSPOSP
Handholes
• Minimum size is a 4’ x 4’ x 4’ and larger sizes are acceptable (ANSI accepted?)

Confined Spaces (definition)
• Is large enough and so configured so that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work
• Has limited or restrictive means for entry and exit
• Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy
OSHA 1910.146OSHA 1910.146
Permit Required Confined Space (PRCS) (definition)
• Any space (open trench, maintenance hole etc.) that has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere, material that has the potential for engulfing, or contains any recognized safety or health hazard requires a permit to enter.
PRCS EntryPRCS Entry
• What happens next when a conventional confined space becomes a PRCS?
• Is the procedure for entering this space any different then any other confined space?
YES !!
