Reduced Installation Time: Since the cables are pre-terminated, there is no need for field termination, which can be time-consuming and requires skilled labor.
Improved Quality and Reliability: Preterminated cables are factory-terminated and tested, ensuring consistent quality and reducing the risk of installation errors.
Cost-Effective: Although preterminated cables might be more expensive initially, they can save money in the long run by reducing labor costs and installation time.
Minimized Downtime: Faster installation means that network services can be up and running more quickly, minimizing downtime.
Consistency: Factory-terminated cables provide consistent performance and quality, which can be harder to achieve with field terminations.
Proper Coiling: Always coil the cables correctly. Avoid bending them beyond their minimum bend radius to prevent damage to the fibers.
Use Reel or Spool: Store the cables on a reel or spool to keep them organized and to prevent tangling. This also helps in maintaining the integrity of the cables.
Clean and Dry Environment: Store the cables in a clean, dry environment to protect them from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors that could cause damage.
Temperature Control: Ensure that the storage area is within the recommended temperature range for the cables. Extreme temperatures can damage the cables.
Protective Coverings: Use protective coverings or cases to shield the cables from physical damage, such as crushing or impacts.
Labeling: Clearly label the cables to avoid unnecessary handling and to ensure that they are used correctly when needed.
Avoid Overstacking: Do not stack heavy items on top of the cables as this can cause crushing and damage to the fiber optics inside.
