Abstract
Provided is a trunk cable installation verification tool. The device comprises a body that attaches to a stuffing or fitting tube, a level tube, a magnet, and a tolerance indicator for aligning a cable. The body is shaped to fit the contours of the fitting tube for ease of attachment thereto. A magnet secures the body to the fitting tube for quick and non-permanent attachment. The tolerance indicator is preferably a V-shaped protrusion or a notch that is aligned with the centreline of the fitting tube and is used to ensure proper alignment of the cable, which is confirmed with a cable identification line. The verification tool ensures proper cable alignment and reduces/prevents stress on the bond line between cable outer jacket and the epoxy, thereby preventing premature cable failure and extending the maintenance intervals required to replace damaged cables.
