  • The function of laying optical cables on poles

    The function of laying optical cables on poles

    Deploying fiber above ground on poles or towers removes the need for underground digging and is particularly useful when the ground is uneven, rocky or both. Fiber in a duct solutions have a major aesthetic. Besides the use of special cables on transmission and distribution towers or poles, the installation of fiber optic cables for utilities may require the shutdown of electrical distribution for installation, although some installations are possible without shutdown. Because aerial cables are exposed to harsh outdoor environments and extreme weather conditions, their materials must be strong and durable. Unlike buried cable, they excel in rural or suburban areas where trenching is impractical. It provides high tensile strength, good performance of mechanical and temperature, and low-cost installation.
