How to install optical fiber cables on poles

How to install optical fiber cables on poles

When installing aerial fiber optic cables, there are usually two methods: tying the fiber optic cable to a steel messenger or directly installing a self-supporting figure-8 aerial fiber optic cable. Different environments demand different fiber optic cable installation methods: aerial cables strung on poles, direct-buried cables placed underground, submarine cables laid underwater, and indoor or outdoor cables used in specific settings. The choice may also depend on the types of vehicles and placing equipment that are available to the installer.
