Development of a test plan

Every installation needs confirmation that the components are installed properly. The installer or contractor wishes to ensure that the work is well done, so that the client is satisfied and that it is not necessary to receive calls to request repairs. Before approving payment, customers usually ask for test results, as well as a final visual inspection as part of the documentation of the proper installation.

However, according to our experience, there is often confusion about what needs to be evaluated and how the test results should be documented in fiber optic projects. These issues must be agreed on during the design stage of the project. The administrative roles of the project must include specifications for the tests, references to industry standards and the results of the tests that will be considered acceptable according to the analysis of the estimated optical loss performed during the project design stage.

optic cable installers

The testing process of any fiber optic cable network can consist of three tests. First, a test of the cable in the coil before installation. Then, a test of each segment as it is installed and, finally, of the complete loss from one end of the fiber to the other in the cable network. The practical test usually means the continuous assessment of only a few fibers of each cable coil before installation to verify that the cable has not been damaged during shipping. Each segment is then evaluated as the installers finish them. By last,
