Recommendation No. 1
If crossings were less than 500 m apart it may make recovery of the underlying cable between crossings unsafe and impractical. As such, crossings at less than 500m separation should be considered as

OPTICAL FIBRE INSTALLATIONS
For Optical Fibre Cables in each change of direction pit (road crossing etc.) a minimum of 6.0 m of cable must be stored / coiled in each change of direction pit.
FIBER OPTIC CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS
Fiber optic cable sequential numbers are required at each pole location and vault wall. Sequential numbers will identify conduit length, and slack left in vaults and at poles.
FOA Standard For Installing Fiber Optic Cable Plants
Fiber optic cables may contain multimode optical fibers, singlemode fibers or a combination of the two, in which case it is generally referred to as a “hybrid” cable.
Guidelines for safe cable crossing over a pipeline
Another objective of this paper is to invite further evaluation of the proposed guidelines so that appropriate crossing design requirements can be further developed and standardised.
