 Ll Introduction

Vector Technology Institute is being tasked to designed a Fibre Optic Network. It is our objective to

oy
design the fiber optic network for the Fiber to the desktop (FTTD) deployment at the main campus which
has space for about 78 students and the fiber run from the main campus to the priory campus.

As specified for the project, a refurbished bus will be used as the mobile classroom. The mobile
classroom should seat 24 students, there will be 2 instructors and personal laptop users should be able to
access content on the fibre network interface.

Important Considerations in Fiber Optic Installation
22

oy
Do a complete design before beginning cable plant installation

a) Establish criteria for the install, based on the communications paths required
b) Know how many fibers of what types are needed add extras for repairs or growth
c) Determine hardware requirements: connectors, splices, patch panels, closures, etc.
d. Plot the cable route and determine cable lengths
e. Show how installed (premises, buried, conduit, inner duct, underwater, pole locations for aerial, etc.)
f. Mark termination and splice points

d
g. Attach data from link loss budget and use it as a guide for testing
h. Don't try to build a marginal design allow for "Murphy's Law"
i. Follow the NECA 301-2004 Standard For Installing and Testing Fiber Optic Cables in design
and installation
j. At the same time, design the facilities for the communications equipment, including locations,
allowing for adequate spaces, power and grounding and HVAC as needed
k. Make complete lists of what components and hardware are needed and where they are to be used

J
Work with vendors on component specifications to get best quality and price
