    2. Fiber In General: "Worldwide, we expect double-digit growth rates in fiber-optic cable demand the next few years," Richard Mack of KMI Research/CRU One key reason: boom in moving video / audio files over Internet FTTH: Verizon is spearheading the FTTH growth in the USA … The company plans to spend $23 billion on its fiber optic network by 2010. The Demand for Fiber http://www.shareholderforum.com/vz/Publications/20070923_USAToday.htm http://www.shareholderforum.com/vz/Publications/20070923_USAToday.htm

    3. First line of defense Know your fiber integrity Know your environment Quickly find your fiber Why Armored Fiber?

    4. First Line of Defense Armor before fiberArmor before fiber

    5. Fiber Integrity

    6. OSP Environment

    7. Where locating is necessary, armor provides necessary conductor When conditioned properly, rack mounted tone generators deliver faster and longer locates Quick Locates

    8. Electrical separation between armor and ground Protect for external events Filter external influences as necessary Support with safety policy First Step: Condition the Armor

    9. Sheath Grounding Device

    10. Transient higher voltage shorter duration Sustained lower voltage longer (permanent) duration Electrical Influences

    11. Transient Event - Lightning

    12. Surge Protection – Re-enterable

    13. Sustained Influence - Induced

    14. Imbalance Conductor Spacing Run Distance Proximity Surface Area Induced Source – 3 Phase

    15. Conductor Spacing Run Distance Proximity Surface Area Induced Source – Single Phase

    16. Sustained Influence - Conducted

    17. Conducted Source – Example 1

    18. Conducted Source – Example 2 Power Faults

    19. With armor: consider safety and design maximize life of outside plant with improved ability to: Protect Maintain Locate With all dielectric consider tracer wire Conclusions
