Keep a safe distance between power lines and fiber optic cables, especially during installation or when routing cables through buildings. This helps minimize the coupling effect between
Aerial fiber optic cables should be electrical connected and connected to the ground every 2 km. The grounding can be directly done or or by suitable surge protection devices.
A distance of at least 1.8 meters (6 feet) should be kept between lightning protection conductors and communication wires, cables, and CATV coaxial cables on buildings when feasible.
