4 Factors that Influence How Long your Fiber Network Will Last

4 Factors that Influence How Long your Fiber
Network Will Last
Fiber network installation is deployed with consideration to the ROI of how long
it will operate.
Fiber optic cabling is more fragile when compared to copper cabling. Still there
is a huge demand for fiber cabling installation as it transmits signal faster than
copper wiring.
However, if correctly processed, tested and used it has proven to be immensely
durable. The durability of the material is tested by accessing the
• Initial strength
• Rate of degradation
• Any flaws that weaken it
• Reagents that can weaken it
• Its optical lifetime
Factors that Influence Durability of the Fiber Optic Network:
Surface flaws: Pristine silica glass that is free of defects is immensely resistant
to degradation. All commercially produced optical fibers have surface flaws that
reduce the material’s longevity under certain conditions. To overcome the flaws
that lead to failure of the network fiber optics are first tested by stretching it to
a pre-set level for a specified duration to deliberately break the larger flaws.
Reducing degradation: The user is left with a fiber containing fewer, smaller
flaws that need to be protected from unnecessary degradation. This means

primarily stopping the creation of new flaws by coating the fiber with a
protective and durable material for its primary coating.
Installation strains: Stress is the major factor affecting fiber longevity, hence the
cable installer ensures the use of suitable strength elements limits the stress
applied to the cable to much less than the 1 percent proof test level. After
protecting the cable, it is necessary to ensure that the use of suitable strength
elements limits the stress applied to the cable to much less than the 1 per cent
proof test level. The three commonly used techniques pulling, pushing and
blowing.
Environmental factors: The environmental factors that most affect the fiber
optic cable installation include the elevated temperatures and presence of
water. The growth of cracks under stress is facilitated by water leading to “stress
corrosion”. By checking the stress corrosion susceptibility parameter, the
tendency of a fiber to suffer stress corrosion is being reviewed.
