What is a Method of Statement for Fiber Optic Cable Pulling?
2025-08-15A Method of Statement (MOS) for fiber optic cable pulling is a formal document that outlines the step-by-step procedures, safety precautions, and required equipment for a successful installation. Unlike heavy power cables, fiber optic cables are extremely delicate and susceptible to damage from excessive tension or tight bends. Therefore, a method statement for fiber optic cable pulling is unique because it places a critical emphasis on:
-
Tension Control: Ensuring the pulling force never exceeds the cable's very low maximum tensile strength.
-
Bending Radius: Preventing the cable from bending too tightly, which can cause micro-fractures in the glass fibers, leading to signal loss.
-
Twist Prevention: Using specialized tools to prevent the cable from twisting, as this can also damage the internal structure.
