Many factors must be considered when designing a fiber-optic cable plant. First and foremost, the designer must determine whether the cable is to be installed for an inside-plant (ISP) or outside-plant (OSP) application. The answer to this question usually determines whether a loose buffer or a tight buffer cable will be used. An important factor in fiber-optic cable design and implementation is consideration of the cable's minimum bend radius and tensile loading. There are two kinds of submarine cable systems: shallow-water and deep-water systems.

Tight Buffer Versus Loose Buffer Cable Plants

Tight buffer or tight tube cable designs are typically used for ISP applications. Each fiber is coated with a buffer coating, ...
