163 describes criteria for the installation of optical fibre cables defined in Recommendation ITU-T L. 110 in remote areas with lack of usual infrastructure for installation including the procedures of cable-route planning, cable selection, cable-installation. Where reels are supplied with protective material fitted over the cable, the protection should remain in place until the cable will be installed. The cable should be bent as little as possible. Turn-backs and all sharp changes of direction. Optical fiber's ability to withstand extreme heat and cold directly impacts signal integrity, network reliability, and maintenance costs, especially in harsh environments like industrial facilities, outdoor installations, and data centers. Its ability to provide continuous temperature readings over long distances makes it an ideal solution for fire detection in tunnels. Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems provide temperature information for accurate thermal monitoring, fire detection, and condition assessment by utilizing standard fiber optic cables. These fiber optic systems precisely measure the temperature profile of an asset by interpreting the. Determine the fiber optic model and specifications according to system requirements, inspect the appearance of the fiber optic, and verify the technical indicators on the certificate of conformity; Store temperature sensing optical fibers in an upright cable tray to avoid fiber damage; When laying.
