8. Location Requirements:
Location requirements for the pedestal ODC include the following:
(1) The location of the pedestal ODC shall be close to the site/plot
customer groups as much as possible so that the cable pulled towards
customers can be shorter and technical requirements (loss budgets) can
be met.
(2) The location of the pedestal ODC shall not be in a location prone to
landslides or flooding.
(3) The location of the pedestal ODC shall pay attention to the installation
location's city plan as possible widening of roads, construction of public
facilities and so forth.
(4) The location of the pedestal ODC shall be secure from external
disturbances such as vehicular traffic, pedestrians and crime. If the
location needs additional safety, crime-prevention solutions such as
fences or locks may be considered.
(5) Foundation of ODC & Hand hole location is related closely.
Please follow the arrangement below figure:

9. Above-ground Installation Requirements:
Above-ground installation requirements are as follows:
(1) Cabinet stakes protective toward the pedestal ODC may be considered
so as not to accidentally struck by a vehicle in some specific location and
the stakes may be installed either at the front or at the two sides of the
pedestal ODC for other specific location. The installation of the safety
stakes is as shown below.

(2) The pedestal ODC shall be mounted on the concrete base/foundation
with minimum depth of 600mm and height of at least 500mm from ground
level. The foundation depth and height may be adjusted along with heavy
loads and capacity of the pedestal ODC. The foundation length and width
may be adjusted along with length and width of the pedestal ODC to be
installed. The foundation above ground level shall be plastered/smoothed
and the top surface of the concrete base shall be sloped so that water
does not stagnate around the pedestal ODC, especially for high flood-
prone areas, the foundation shall be adjusted.
(3) The foundation is made of concrete with a ratio of cement, sand, rock
fragments = 1 : 2 : 3 (example). Please contact the supplier of cement for
the best mix ratio or follow contractors’ best practices. The foundation
size may be adjusted along with the size of the pedestal ODC and the
foundation can be made on the spot or in advance (precast).
Please see "Annex " attached for more detail.

(3) The foundation is made of concrete with a ratio of cement, sand,
rock fragments = 1 : 2 : 3 (example). Please contact the supplier of
cement for the best mix ratio or follow contractors’ best practices. The
foundation size may be adjusted along with the size of the pedestal
ODC and the foundation can be made on the spot or in advance
(precast).
(4) The bottom of the pedestal ODC (cabinet root) shall be firmly
attached to the concrete foundation with appropriate depth not to close
root/skirt cover as the following cabinet installation image on concrete
base/foundation:

(5) The interior of the foundation shall be made hollow and have sufficient
space for laying fiber optic cables, power supply cable and grounding
wires if applicable.
(6) In order to avoid the insect after the cables installed, their cavity
should be closed with seal material/paraffin or so. Please follow
contractors’ best practices.
(7) For the convenience of operating personnel, made cabinet shop floor
on site if possible. The size of the working floor may have length 150 cm
and width 135 cm and it can be adapted to the situation on the ground. An
example of the image for the work floor space at the site is the following.

16. Safety Precautions and Best Practices:
Safety Glasses:
Safety glasses for eye protection should be worn when handling
chemicals, bare fibers, cordage and fiber optic cables.
Chemicals:
Chemicals for cleaning should be handled with care along with health,
safety and environmental instructions on suppliers’ instructions and
material safety data sheets, your company’s instructions and regional
regulations.
FAST connectors and mechanical splice (if applicable) contain index
matching gel. It may be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Contact with
eyes may cause irritation. Prolonged and/or repeated skin contact may
result in mild irritation or redness.
Upon eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes as first aid measures and get immediate medical attention.
Upon skin contact, wash off with soap and water as first aid measures and
get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Please contact us for more details.
Bare Fiber Handling:
Cleaved or broken glass fibers are sharp and can pierce the skin or
damage the eyes. Use tweezers when handling pieces of glass fibers.
Recommend to use a fiber cleaver with a fiber scrap collector.
Fiber/Cable Handling:
Optical fiber and fiber optic cable may be damaged by excessive forces.
Please contact suppliers for proper handling.
Laser Safety:
Never look directly into the end of a fiber and connector. Laser light that
may be invisible can damage your eyes.
Cleanliness of Fiber Optic Connectors:
One of failure cases of fiber optic connectors is caused by
contaminations on connector end-face. They could result in worse
insertion/return loss and failure of the end-face. Recommend to clean the
end-face of connector before mating as one of the best practices.
