  • Fiber Optic Cable Installation Drilling Method

    Fiber Optic Cable Installation Drilling Method

    Directional drilling is a trenchless technology that allows contractors to install underground utilities—such as fiber optic cables—without digging large trenches. Fiber splicing usually employs fusion splicing, which precisely aligns and fuses fiber ends to form a permanent, low-loss connection. 2 meters (3-4 feet) deep to reduce the likelihood of accidentally being dug up. In extreme cold climates, cables may need to be buried at greater depths where there temperatures are colder and frost penetrates to. Pulling Fiber Optic Cable: Once the borehole is drilled, the fiber optic cable is fed through it using a process called "pullback" or "trenchless installation.
