Avoid routing fiber optic cables directly alongside copper cables, as vibrations or weight from copper can stress fiber cables, increasing the risk of macrobending. Use separate trays, ladders, or conduits for fiber optics when possible. Fiber optic joints or terminations - where cables are terminated - are made two ways: 1) connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear (left) or 2) splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers (right). e cited in contract, program, and other Agency documents as a technical requirement.
