Fiber optic cable suspension distance
Optical drop cables are not designed or intended for use in extended distance applications requiring the use of distribution type cables. Attenuation is the progressive loss of signal strength that occurs as light travels through the fiber. For example, a fiber optic cable with a distance of 1km supports a bandwidth of 500MHz, while a fiber optic cable with a distance of 2km can only support a bandwidth of 250MHz. Recommendations for Fiber Optic Cable Installation Where reels are supplied with protective material fitted over the cable, the protection should remain in place until the cable will be installed.
