| 摘要： | If you have been reading my columns, you know many of the topics come from questions I field at FOA. Sometimes it's surprising what people ask because we think "everybody knows that." This is one - actually two - of those topics.A project manager for a city called FOA asking about bids he was reviewing for a new fiber optic cable installation. The cable was long, about 7.5 miles (-12 km), and had several locations where it would need to connect to a 4-fiber drop cable going into a building. The backbone cable had a large number of fibers, 192, comprised of 16 tubes of 12 fibers each.His concern was with the bid pricing for each cable drop location. Contractors were bidding based on making 196 splices at each drop, essentially splicing every fiber, even those which were just passing through the drop point. At the going rate for splicing a fiber, it was getting expensive. |
