Installation Protocol

Cable Preparation & Routing

1

Determine the strip length based on the splice tray/enclosure requirement (usually 1.5m).

2

Use a rotary stripper to ring-cut the outer jacket (do not cut the armor yet).

3

Use armor slitter to cut the corrugated steel tape (PSP).

4

Clean the gel from buffer tubes using industry-standard solvent wipes.

Always bond the metallic armor to the grounding lug to prevent electrical surges.

Industry Reality Check

The 'Water Blocking' Myth

"Many 'budget' cables use low-absorbency tape that fails after 3.2 years of burial. Telhua uses 3M-grade super-absorbent polymers that can block a 1-meter head of water for 24 hours (IEC 60794-1-2-F5 test). Don't save $0.05/meter on cable only to spend $5,000 on a flooded duct repair (Source: 2023 Infrastructure Failure Report, Tracking: INFRA-FAIL-2023)."

Lessons from Our Mistakes

The 2023 Australian Outback Termite Attack

The Problem

A 45km direct-buried link in the Northern Territory failed due to 'mysterious' jacket degradation.

Root Cause

Standard HDPE jackets were being eaten by local Mastotermes darwiniensis (Giant Termites).

The Fix

Developed a specialized Nylon-12 outer jacket with integrated chemical deterrents.

Result

Post-replacement links (110km+) have shown zero biological degradation in 18 months (Tracking: AU-NT-CABLE-2023).

Core Lesson:Geography determines the jacket; never assume standard HDPE is 'universal'.

The 'Frozen Fiber' Breakage (2020 Canada)

The Problem

In Alberta, aerial drop cables snapped internally during a -45°C cold snap.

Root Cause

The PE jacket shrank faster than the G.652.D fiber, causing macro-bending and eventual fracture.

The Fix

Switched to a Low-Temperature LSZH/PE blend with a thermal expansion coefficient matched to the glass.

Result

No cold-weather fractures in 12,000+ drops over the last 4 winters (Tracking: CA-ALB-DROP-2020).

Core Lesson:Material compatibility at extreme temperatures is critical for aerial longevity.

When NOT to Choose This Product

Short indoor-only patch leads

Outdoor cables are stiff, thick, and difficult to route inside server racks.

Recommendation

Use our flexible 2.0mm or 3.0mm LSZH patch cords for indoor-only applications.

Real-world Deployment Cases

ISP Project 2024

Portugal (NOS Portugal Project)

Technical Challenges

  • Extremely tight bending radius (7.5mm) in historical building conduits
  • High labor costs for field splicing

Proven Results

Reduced installation time by 40% using pre-terminated solutions; 0.05dB average loss at 7.5mm bend.

Mobile Operator Project 2023

Thailand (True Corporation)

Technical Challenges

  • High humidity and monsoon flooding risks
  • Rodent attacks on underground cables

Proven Results

Zero water ingress reported over 2 years; Armored cable successfully resisted rodent damage.

Tier-3 ISP Project 2025

Brazil (Regional ISP Cluster)

Technical Challenges

  • Long spans between poles (up to 120m)
  • Vibration and wind-induced stress

Proven Results

Stable signal transmission despite extreme wind conditions; simplified hardware reduced CAPEX by 15%.

Engineering & Deployment FAQs

ADSS vs. GYTS: which cable should I use for a 5km link?

ADSS for aerial power lines; GYTS for underground ducts or direct burial.

Technical Detail:ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable contains no metal and is designed to be strung on high-voltage power poles without interference or lightning risk. GYTS features a corrugated steel tape armor, providing 4.5x higher crush resistance and a 100% barrier against rodent attacks, making it mandatory for underground deployments.

Is 'Water-Blocking Gel' better than 'Dry-Tube' design?

Gel-filled is better for extreme moisture; Dry-tube is 35% faster to terminate.

Technical Detail:In high-humidity regions like Southeast Asia, gel-filled tubes provide a superior moisture barrier. However, for indoor/outdoor 'riser' applications, our 'Dry-Tube' technology uses super-absorbent yarns that expand to block water without the mess of gel, saving technicians ~12 minutes per 24-fiber termination.

What is the difference between G.652.D and G.657.A1 fiber?

Bend sensitivity. G.657.A1 is optimized for tighter bends (FTTH drops), while G.652.D is for general backbone.

Technical Detail:G.652.D is the standard single-mode fiber with a minimum bend radius of ~30mm. G.657.A1 allows for a 10mm bend radius with minimal loss (<0.03dB). For FTTH drop cables that must route around door frames and corners, G.657.A1 is mandatory to prevent macro-bend losses.
