In July 2016, after completion of a the two countries agreed to proceed with a two-year planning phase. This included an economic assessment, environmental considerations and will determine the placement of the cable and onshore stations, while a decision initially due on the project is foreseen for 2020 or 2021. In May 2018, the project was granted a foreshore license to begin marine surveys for the potential landing sites at Ballinwilling, Claycastle and Redbarn beaches, County Cork.
[pdf] Direct burial fiber optic installation eliminates conduit cost but demands the right cable construction, proper bedding, and precise depth to meet NEC and Telcordia GR-20 requirements. 01 This best practices procedure provides general information for the installation of fiber optic cables in direct buried applications. The methods described are intended for guideline use only, as it is impossible to cover all the various conditions that may arise during an installation. Any damage may alter the characteristics to the extent that the cable section may have to be replaced.
[pdf] When multiple armoured cables share a trench, the spacing between them — the cable burial spread — directly determines two things: the current-carrying capacity of each circuit, and the cost of excavation. Pack them too tight and mutual heating derates the cables, forcing you to oversize. The Fiber Optic Association, Inc. FO-VC2 JOINT USE - VERICAL MIDSPAN CLEARANCES 48. FO-RI JOINT USE RISER. The methods used to place fiber optic cables in ducts are similar to those used to place copper cable. Optical cable is a high capacity transport medium that is sensitive to excessive pulling force, tight bends, and crushing forces, therefore, proper care must be taken during the installation. 1.
