So traditionally I have used line types for utilities that reflected their purpose;
----T---- Telephone
------TV---- Cable TV
------E----- Power
-----SS----- Sanitary sewer
----S---- Storm drain
Ect. Ect.
I think this is probably somewhat of an industry standard.
What do you guys use for fiber optic?
----CATV---- for fiber optic communications cable?
Is there a standard?
Sorry Eric!! :clap:
You probably don't want to use:
---FO---

CATV usually refers to a coax line rather than fiber, so I don't recommend that.
On drawings that have no fire communications lines I just use F; if fire comm is present, I use FO (despite what Warren advises!). And I spell it out in the legend in either case.
-----COMM----

I use --F/O-- for fiber, but differentiate between different utilities using line type and legend.
--CU-- for copper
Run into problems regularly with relocates when the mapping doesn't differentiate whose fiber it is and thus whose responsibility it is to get it out of the way of road upgrades.
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

How about ----FU----- for underground fiber?
Most of the time the path of the utilities have not been located.
I only show where the fiber optic risers are located.

That's what we use...

I know - and they are marked with fluorescent orange. That leaves surveyors with fluorescent pink ...
I use FO too.
