Does the fiber optic cable pulling machine need to be grounded

93 (A) requires technicians to ground any fiber optic cable at the point of entry to a building. While nonarmored fiber optic cables don't require grounding due to their nonconductive properties, grounding is crucial when using armored fiber optic cables. These cables include metallic components that can carry electrical currents, presenting potential hazards such as electrical shock or fire. If possible, use an automated puller with tension control or at least a breakaway pulling eye. Know and observe the maximum recommended load rating of the cable. Fiber is stronger than steel when you pull it straight, but it breaks easily when bent too tightly. "What needs to be grounded in a fiber opti...
