When designing a Fiber Optic Structured Cabling System, how to plan the length and layout of the fiber-optic cable?

When designing a Fiber Optic Structured Cabling System, planning the length and layout of the fiber-optic cable first requires clarifying the type of communication, bandwidth requirements, data transmission rate, etc. that the Fiber Optic Structured Cabling System needs to support. This helps determine the type and quantity of optical fibers required. Determine the buildings, floors, rooms or areas that need to be wired, and the connection relationship between them. This helps plan the layout and length of the fiber-optic cable.
Use professional measurement tools to make detailed measurements of each wiring path. Including the path length in different environments such as indoors, outdoors, and underground pipelines. Consider possible obstacles, turning points, joint locations, etc. on the path to evaluate the feasibility and optimization space of the path.
When planning the length of the fiber-optic cable, it is necessary to consider the reserved length of the optical cable at special locations such as joints, entering and exiting buildings, and crossing obstacles. The reserved length should be reasonably set according to the actual situation and relevant standards, such as reserving 1020 meters in the incoming line room when the optical cable enters and exits the office, and reserving 610 meters at the joint and lead-up of the pipeline optical cable. Calculate the total length of each fiber-optic cable based on the measurement data and the reserved length. Ensure that the total length meets the actual needs and leave a certain margin for emergency use.
Under the premise of meeting the communication needs and length requirements, choose a wiring scheme with the shortest path, the fewest turns and the fewest joints. This helps to reduce fiber attenuation and loss and improve the quality of data transmission. In the layout design, necessary protective measures should be considered for the fiber optic cable, such as using fiber optic protective sleeves and installing fiber optic brackets. This helps to prevent the fiber optic cable from being physically damaged or affected by environmental factors.
Carry out the wiring of the fiber optic cable according to the planned layout and length. Ensure that the fiber optic cable is not damaged during the wiring process and meets the relevant specifications and standards. After the wiring is completed, test the fiber optic cable, including attenuation test, connectivity test and rate test. Ensure that the performance of the fiber optic cable meets the design requirements and can transmit data stably.
Record and archive the length, layout, connection port and other information of the fiber optic cable in detail. This helps to maintain and manage the fiber optic structured cabling system in the future. Update the network documents and drawings according to the actual situation and test results of the cabling system to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the records.
