The depth at which underground fiber optic lines are installed is a crucial factor for ensuring network reliability and longevity. This placement, measured from the surface to the top of the cable or conduit, directly impacts the cable’s susceptibility to damage from external factors.
Proper burial depth minimizes risks such as accidental cuts during excavation, damage from heavy machinery, and environmental stress caused by temperature fluctuations and soil conditions. Adherence to recommended depths contributes significantly to reduced maintenance costs and fewer service interruptions, resulting in a more robust and dependable communication infrastructure.
