Fibtele project input brief
Solution: Fiber Optic Cable Selection for Indoor, Outdoor & FTTH Routes
Solution slug: fiber-optic-cable

Quick answer
Start with route, fiber type, count and installation method. Then verify tensile and crush ratings, water blocking, bend radius, sheath, fire behavior, temperature range and termination plan before approving the cable.

Inputs required before selection
- OS2, OM3, OM4 or specified fiber performance
- Fiber count and reserve capacity
- Aerial, duct, indoor, riser or direct-burial route
- Tensile, crush, bend, water-blocking and temperature requirements
- Applicable operator, fire and installation standards

Selection checklist
- Fiber type and attenuation
- Count, tube/core allocation and reserve
- Route, span and installation method
- Sheath, armor, water blocking and fire rating
- Minimum bend radius and temperature range

Important limits
- A cable data sheet cannot replace a route survey and pulling calculation.
- Maximum span, pulling tension and bend radius are construction-specific.
- Confirm local fire, burial, aerial and operator requirements for the destination market.
