Does fiber optic cable laying require a batch inspection
Inspections of fiber optic cable plant installation are not generally required, and practically nobody ever does one on a new fiber optic network. The Fiber Optic Association, Inc. (FOA) was founded in 1995 to help develop the workforce to build the fiber optic networks to support a rapid expansion in communications and the Internet. Although the standard covers premises installations, many of the provisions included here ar SI/ NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC). It is the responsibility of users.
