Efficient Fiber Construction Practices: Follow-the-Power Approach for Electric Utilities Deploying FTTx

Track: Operations

Session Number: 64
Date: Mon, Jun 3rd, 2019
Time: 1:15 PM - 2:00 PM
Room: Tampa

Description:

Delve into the advantages, recommended products, and implementation strategies for a “follow-the-power” approach to deploying FTTx, including how an aerial ADSS solution compares to a traditional strand and lash installation method. Review the benefits of using the approach for underground applications and how to assess and select the best installation strategies and techniques. Leave the presentation with an understanding of the “follow-the-power” approach, its benefits for both aerial and underground installations, and tips and resources so you can start using the approach.
