General Consideration: It is generally not recommended to run fiber optic cables in the same conduit as electrical power cables. This is due to several potential risks and complications that can arise from such an arrangement. After doing some research I found that this would most likely cause trouble since I would be running copper with. The existing 2" conduit contains 4x 1/0 XLPE cable (rated for direct-burial), so I plan on pulling outdoor rated, non-metallic fiber through the same conduit. My original plan was to trench new conduit and run CAT8, but given that the existing run is all "customer side" and installed by the former. This sweep radius is necessary to insure that the conduits can accept future fiber optic cables. All horizontal conduit will be tested by the conduit installation contractor with a mandrel to prove compliance with the sweep radius requirements throughout the conduit run Each telecommunications. In this post, we'll focus on communication conduits and walk through the key concepts, conduit types, materials, standards, and selection strategies—step by step. If you're a project manager, contractor, or engineer, this article may be especially useful in helping you make informed decisions. SCADA controls where the interlink is.
