2.2.1 Hanging Conduit Support

See attached drawing for the installation details

2.2.2 Wall Mounted Conduit Support

See attached drawing for the installation details

2.2.3 Flexible Conduit

Flexible conduit shall be used as short as possible and, in any

case, shall not exceed a conduit run of 2m.
 2.2.4 Joint in Conduit

Joint in steel conduits shall be made by means of a solid coupler

into which the adjacent ends of the two conduits shall be
inserted to approximately half into it and screwed up tightly in
order to make the conduit run mechanically and electrically
continuous. No threads on either conduit shall be exposed.

2.2.5 Provision of Adaptable Box

An adequate number of suitably sized adaptable boxes shall be

provided in all conduit runs to enable cables to be drawn in and
out easily without damage. Adaptable boxes shall be provided
immediately after every two bends, or after a bend plus a
maximum straight run of 10m, or after a maximum straight run of
15m.

2.2.6 Fixing of Distance (Spacing) Saddle

Saddles, for the support of surface conduits, shall be

provided throughout the entire route at regular intervals.
The spacing between adjacent saddles for steel conduits
shall not be more than 2M for horizontal while 2.25M for
vertical.

internal radius
of the bend shall not be less than 2.5 times the outside
diameter
of the conduit.

2.2.8 Cable capacity of Conduit

 The number of cables drawn into a conduit shall be such
that no damage will be caused to the cables or to the
conduits during their installation.

2.3 Direct Buried Conduit Installation

A method of installation of conduit wherein digging an open

trench and laying the conduit directly into the trench, often
along with embedment material to protect the conduit from
damage due to the surrounding soil.
2.3.1 Digging the Trench

 The trench should be dug as straight, level and rock free as

possible. Avoid curves smaller than the conduit’s allowable
bend radius. Undercut inside corners to increase the radius
of the bend. Should there be a rapid grade change, use
back-fill to support the conduit.
 Excavate the trench to a depth .3 meter, and remove all
rocks and large stones from the bottom of the trench to
prevent damage to the conduit. Push some clean fill (fine
material, without stones) into the trench to cushion the
conduit as it is installed in the trench (Sand bedding for this
procedure).
 Supplemental trenches should be made to all offset
enclosure locations. Trench intersections should be
excavated to provide adequate space to make sweeping
bends in the conduit.
 Fill the trench and compact as required. Tamp the trench to
provide compaction that will prevent the trench backfill from
settling.

2.3.2 Backfilling

It is best to place the quality soil directly on and around the

conduit. DO NOT place large rocks directly on the conduit. A
good practice to ensure long-term protection of underground
facilities is to utilize sand for padding the conduit.

It provides a more stable environment for the conduit, prohibiting

damage from rocks and allowing water to drain away from
 conduit easily. More importantly is the protection it can provide
during future excavation near your facilities.

The apparent change in soil condition provides warning that

there is a utility buried there. This should not replace the practice
of placing warning tape, but rather should serve as a
supplement.

During backfill, warning tape (caution tape) should be placed for

early warning for future excavation.

3. Cable Installation

This section covers the installation of cables such as UTP

CAT5e (i.e. Indoor/outdoor type), Fiber Optic cable. It also
covers the installation of the associated cabling facilities,
including cable trays and cable ladders.
 Conduit system shall be completely established before
cable is drawn in and there shall be adequate means of
access for drawing cable in or out.
 Cables shall be drawn into a conduit by using approved
draw-in tape or steel wire of the appropriate size. Under no
circumstances shall the use of lubricants, e.g. grease,
graphite, talc power, etc., be permitted to assist in the
drawing the cables.
 When pulling cables into small ducts, an emulsion of
pulling grease maybe use (if found necessary) and soft
soap in water may be used for brushing onto the cable
surfaces where they enter the duct to reduce friction during
pulling.
 Each cable in a run shall be of one continuous length and
wired on the “loop-in” system. No joint in cable run shall be
allowed.

3.1 Testing of Cable

3.1.1 Fiber Optic Cable

Perform continuity testing of optical fiber using a visual fault
tracer, visual fault locator or OLTS power meter and source.
Trace the fiber from end to end through any interconnections to
ensure that the path is installed in accordance with the
requirements in applicable standards, and that polarization and
routing are correct and documented.

a. Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) testing

Optical Time Domain Reflectometers can provide optical
fiber and event loss as well as fiber length measurements.
OTDR contain both an optical source and a receiver thus
a single person can operate the device that makes it an
advantage. OTDR are excellent for immediate assessment
of connector, splice and fiber quality. Relatively large loss
events (broken fiber, crashed/dirty connectors et al.) can
be located within inches or feet of their occurrence.

1. Check the test equipment if it has enough storage.

2. Make sure to set the OTDR with the appropriate parameters
for the cable to be test.
3. Make sure that the launch and receive reference
cables of the same fiber type and size as the cable plant
and with connectors compatible to those on the cable plant.
4. Turn on OTDR and allow time to warm-up.
5. Clean all connectors and mating adapters.
6. Attach launch cable to OTDR. Attach receive cable (if
used) to far end of cable.

7. Set up test parameters on OTDR.

8. Attach cable to test to end of launch cable. Attach
receive cable (if used) to far end of cable
 9. Acquire trace and sav

3.1.2 Unshielded Twisted Pair (Copper)

Cable needs to be proved that the installation has been

done correctly and meets the standards to certify the
work by using different parameters (i.e. Wire map, Cable
length for information and propagation delay).

a. Certify Twisted Pair

Cabling

1. Check the test equipment and make sure that

storage is enough.
2. Make sure that the battery is fully charge.
3. Make sure the cords and connectors for all the
test equipment and
patch cords are in good condition.
4. Attach permanent link or channel adapters to the
main and remote testers.
5. Make sure to set the appropriate testing parameter
with respect
to the cable.
6. Connect the testers to the link as shown on the figure
below;
 7. Check for the result
 PASS shows that the cable’s performance is satisfactory.
 FAIL is not a satisfactory result. Identify and correct the
problems
with the cable and do the test again
8. Save the results for future reference.
9. Print test result. (If necessary)

4. Earth Ground Testing

Structures with properly grounded electrical systems are critical to the

safety of people and equipment, giving current from a lightning strike or
utility overvoltage a safe path to earth.
 Components of a ground electrode

1. Check the testing equipment. Make sure that it is in good

condition.
2. Make sure that the battery is fully charge.
3. Make sure that the equipment is calibrated and set to the
appropriate parameter.
4. Place the test probe at the outer sphere of influence of the
ground electrode under test and the auxiliary earth.

Note: If you do not get outside the sphere of influence, the

effective areas of resistance will overlap and invalidate any
measurements that you are taking.
 5. To check the accuracy of the results and to ensure that the ground
stakes are outside the spheres of influence, reposition the inner stake
(probe) 1m in either direction and take a fresh measurement. If there
is a significant change in the reading (30%), you need to increase the
distance between the ground rod under test, the inner stake (probe)
and the outer stake (auxiliary ground) until the measured values
remain fairly constant when repositioning the inner stake (probe).
6. Acquire measurement and record.
