METHOD FOR INSTALLING AN OPTICAL FIBRE UNIT IN A TUBE

摘要

A method for installing an optical fibre unit in a protective tube housing a pulling rope includes the steps of: providing a mini tube having a longitudinal opening from end to end; transversally inserting a portion of the pulling rope in the longitudinal opening; contacting the pulling rope and optical fibre unit over a predetermined length; slipping the mini tube over at least a portion of the contacting length of the pulling rope and optical fibre unit; crimping the mini tube around the pulling rope and optical fibre unit; and drawing the optical fibre unit through the protective tube by pulling the pulling rope.
