Design Guide
Unlike copper cabling, within the standards there are many options on what kinds of fiber optic cable to choose, which fibers make sense and what connector types and termination methods to use.
In Building Spec Manual2
For all other building scenarios, fibre optic cables should be supplied, spliced, labelled and tested inside the main telecom room, inside the floor telecom room, and inside consolidation cabinet by the
