Most fiber techs are the workers who install the fiber optic cable, underground, aerial or indoors.
[pdf] Maintain a minimum clearance of 300 mm above electrical panel boards and switchgear for maintenance access. Use cable tray elbows, tees, bends, and crosses at junction points to ensure smooth cable routing without sharp bends that can damage cable insulation. Maintaining and cleaning a wire mesh basket tray or cable tray system is easier than it sounds, and yes, it's something you should be doing. Perforated cable trays are a sheetmetal system for light, medium and heavy duty installation in commercial and industrial applications.
