GENERAL

1.1. this procedure provides general information for installing all Corning Cable Systems’ Solo® ADSS All-Dielectric Self-Supporting fiber optic cables from 2-288 fibers. Each installation will be influenced by local conditions.The reader should be experienced in aerial fiber optic cable installation. 1.2. This procedure contains references to specifictools and materials in order to illustrate a particular method. Such references are not intended as product endorsements.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Before starting any aerial cable installation, all personnel must be thoroughly familiar with all applicable Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulations, the National electrical Safety Code (NESC), state and local regulations, andcompany safety practices and policies. Failure to do so can result in life-threatening injury to employees or the general public. WARNING: to reduce the chance of accidental injury:

a. Use protective leather gloves and, if necessary, lineman’s rubber gloves. Use the leather gloves when climbing or descending a pole, and when working with sharp instruments or materials. Wear rubber gloves whenworking near exposed electrical circuits. b. Use a safety harness on all bucket trucks and aerial lifts. A body belt and safety strap for the bucket or platform must be used when the equipment is in operation to minimize the chance of injury. c. Before climbing a pole, inspect it for significant deterioration and safety hazards splintering, insect nests, sharp protrusions, etc.).

d. Position allmotorized equipment so that exhausts are directed away from the location where most work will be done. e. Personnel normally should not remain in an area where a cable is being pulled around a piece of hardware under tension. The installer can remain in such an area (for example, to observe the alignment of a cable around corner block), if he or she stays clear of the hardware under tension and hasa clear path to safety. f. Always lower cable blocks and other equipment from strand level with a handline. g. Keep hands free of tools or materials when climbing or descending a pole or ladder. Do not step on cables, cable enclosures, or suspended equipment which might provide unsafe footholds. h. read the entire procedure before starting a Solo® cable installation. Thoroughly understand theprocedure, its precautions, and the tools and equipment required before starting work.

Laser Handling precautions
WARNING: Never look directly into the end of a fiber that may be carrying laser light. Laser light can be invisible and can damage your eyes. Viewing it directly does not cause pain. The iris of the eye will not close involuntarily as when viewing a bright light. Consequently,serious damage to the retina of the eye is possible. Should accidental eye exposure to laser light be suspected, arrange for an eye examination immediately.

CABLE HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Consult the cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pullingforce to the cable than specified. Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.

Maximum Pulling Tension 3.1. There are two different tensions to keep in mind during installation of ADSS cables. One is the maximum pulling tension during installation; the other is the span...
