Digging safely is vitally important. The risk is not only to interrupt communications but the risk of life when digging over high-voltage or gas pipes. You may encounter some obstacles during visits, where you can display posters like these. Several service companies maintain databases with information about the location of public utility equipment installed underground. You must communicate before carrying out any excavation, but you must include this equipment on a map during the design stage and recheck them before digging to ensure you have the latest information.
If all this sounds confusing, it is. Each project is different and requires a careful analysis of the conditions, even before beginning to choose the fiber optic components and planning the true installation. Acquiring experience is the best way to learn.

Choice of components
How to choose the components for external plant installations
The choice of the components of the fiber-optic network in the external plant (OSP) begins with the layout of the cable network. Once the layout is established, it is clear where the cables will be installed, where the splices are and where the cables will be terminated. All this determines what should be chosen with respect to the type of cable, hardware and, in some opportunities, the installation methodology.
Most projects begin with the choice of cable. As OSP installations usually require large cable lengths, cables can be custom manufactured to optimize a particular installation. In these cases, costs are usually saved but the user must have more knowledge and more time to negotiate with several cable manufacturers.
