Abstract
Methods for marking sections of a fiber optic cable (22) so that carrier tube reversal points will be indicated on an exterior surface of the fiber optic cable. The method including the steps of: determining a current length value of the cable; measuring an offset distance value (39), the offset distance being a length measurement between a carrier lay direction reversal point of the cable and a marking device (28); entering the offset distance value into a memory; as a lay direction reversal point is being made, adding the current length value to the offset distance to define a sum value; comparing the sum value to the current cable length value; and when the sum value equals the current cable length value, activating the marking device (28) whereby the marking device marks the cable section.
