Optical cable lashing method steps

　　The lashing of optical cables is an important part of ensuring that the wiring of optical cables is clean, orderly and safe. The following are the general steps and precautions for the method of lashing optical cables:

　　I. General steps

　　Prepare tools and materials:

　　Cable tie: The width is usually 12.5mm, with a hook surface and a wool surface, used to achieve the locking function of the tie.

　　Scissors: used to cut ties and trim excess.

　　Optical cable: Make sure that the cable has been laid according to the predetermined path and leave enough margin for subsequent processing.

　　Straighten out the cable:

　　Before lashing, the cable needs to be straightened into a bundle to avoid intersections and confusion.

　　Cut the cable ties:

　　Cut the cable ties to the appropriate size according to the size of the cable bundle. Make sure the ties are long enough to rotate around the cable bundle and lock tightly.

　　Lashing optical cables:

　　Place the cable bundle in the center of the tie, hold the cable bundle with your hand, and press one end of the tie with your thumb.

　　The other hand tightens the tie with the appropriate force and rotates around the cable bundle.

　　During the rotation process, ensure that the wool surface of the tie is pressed to the hook surface until the wool surface of the outer end of the tie is fully pressed on the inner hook surface to achieve the locking function.

　　Trim the excess:

　　Use scissors to trim off the excess of the tie to ensure that the tie is neat and beautiful.

　　II. Precautions

　　Elastic and suitable:

　　When binding the cable, it should be elastic and appropriate. Do not tie it too tightly to avoid damaging the outer sheath of the cable or the internal fiber.

　　Avoid crossing:

　　During the lashing process, it is necessary to avoid the crossing of optical cables as much as possible to maintain a clean and orderly wiring.

　　Evenly spaced:

　　The location of the tie should be evenly spaced, generally no more than 40cm. This helps to maintain the stability of the cable and reduce friction caused by movement.

　　Protection of optical fibers:

　　During the lashing process, special attention should be paid to protecting the optical fiber from damage. Avoid the use of sharp tools or improper lashing methods that cause the optical fiber to break or reduce tranSMission performance.

　　Follow the standard:

　　When lashing optical cables, relevant wiring standards and specifications should be followed to ensure the quality and reliability of the wiring.

　　To sum up, the cable lashing method requires careful preparation of tools and materials, following the steps of straightening the cable, cutting the ties, lashing the cable, and trimming the excess parts, and paying attention to appropriate tightness, avoiding crossing, evenly spacing, protecting the fiber, and following standards. The correct lashing method helps to keep the cable wiring clean, orderly, and safe.
