Once the cables have been installed the process of mechanical, electrical and optical termination can commence.
It
is important to ensure that this is carried out without danger to personnel or cable, that procedures are followed, and that they
will leave the cable and termination system in the best condition for long term, trouble free operation.
Pre-termination examination
of procedures and processes can help ensure that all the particular circumstances of the project have been taken into account.
Witnessing and analysis of final test on the cable system is necessary to ensure that there are no anomalies in procedures
or results.
