Fiber optic cable is sensitive to xcessive pulling, bending. Underground cables are pulled in conduit that is buried underground, usually 1-1. In extreme cold climates, cables may need to be buried at greater depths where there temperatures are colder and frost penetrates to. The short answer, based on general industry standards and the National Electrical Code (NEC), is that fiber optic cable is typically buried between 24 inches (60 cm) and 30 inches (76 cm) deep. However, simply hitting this depth isn't enough to guarantee your network survives. These cables may be strictly outdoor types or may be indoor/outdoor types which may provide greater versatility in campus type applications. The methods described are intended for guideline use only, as it is impossible to cover all the various conditions that may arise during an installation.
