Re: Construction Practices


For publications try
CommSope Cables construction practices manual.
Times Fiber also prints one.
National Electrical Safety Code- Pole line Specs
National Electrical Code- Home/office specs

The SCTE works with the ANSI like the IEEE does to promote industry standards. As Wolf said most MSO's publish their own verison of a construction standard. It can get confusing for a crew to do a job for one MSO then drive across town and do a job for another MSO and have to build or bond differently. Same jurisdiction

Another source of standards is found in the pole attachment agreement that each cable operator signs with the local power and phone companies. They (power and Phone) dicate the how, when and why of contacting a pole line.

An example would be
Service Standards Guidelines for Foreign Attachments
Supplement to the Service standards Book published by who ever now owns HL&P

Phone Company published their "Construction Blue Book"
