To make installing Superior Essex cables an even easier task, Superior Essex has added dual feet/meter length marking to our full line of copper premises and central office cables. This new printing feature shows both footage and meter markings every two-feet on the cable jacket.
The dual feet/meter marking allows one cable type to satisfy the specific length marking requirements of different customers, which can be useful for distributors and contractors who serve multiple market segments, including government and international customers.
For 1,000-ft packages of copper data cable, the dual feet/meter printing feature has been combined with our popular QuickCount marking system to show the remaining length of cable in both feet and meters, beginning with the reel distance of 1,000 feet / 304.8 meters.

To prevent damage to the fiber and/or system degradation, preparation of a Universal/Toneable Drop FTTP cable end for splicing should be performed by personnel trained and familiar with handling of optical fiber cable, components, and splicing accessories. To help you achieve optimal splicing results, Superior Essex has detailed the proper steps to prepare the cable end in our Technical Guidelines section.

Routing exposed OSP cables through an air plenum (even if it is within the “allowed” 50-feet) is not permitted. Extending the cable via intermediate or rigid metal conduit through the plenum area would be permissible. Consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). References can be found in Chapter 6 (page 6-62) of the (TDMM 11th edition) and in the NEC 2005 Edition 800.113.
