The purpose of a site survey during the installation of an optical fiber communication system is to gather detailed information about the installation environment to plan and execute the installation effectively, minimize potential problems, and ensure optimal performance of the. Pre-construction site survey is one of the most important steps in the engineering and placement of a new optical cable. During this survey the placing supervisor will be able to observe any unusual situations that require special attention. Keywords Stationary Reel Method, empty innerducts. To define requirements for information gathering about installed cabling and cabling trends in order to inform potential future HSSG decisions regards media and link distances Background: The objective and the process below were developed by the IEEE 802. Objective: To. cation capability is an essential infrastructure com-ponent for communication between two countries or areas. These cables are designed to transmit data at high speeds over long distances, making them ideal for submarine communications.
