The FOA Reference For Fiber Optics
Most building, fire or electrical codes limit the length of OSP cable that can be run indoors unless the cable is in conduit, so proper cable installation includes meeting appropriate building codes.
FOA Standard For Installing Fiber Optic Cable Plants
The following language is recommended for use in project documents: Fiber optic cables shall be installed in accordance with the FOA Standard for Installing Fiber Optic Cable Plants.
