Many people are confused about the hanging of aerial optical cables. In fact, there are two methods for aerial optical cables laying: one is "fixed-pulley traction method", including "manual traction method" and "mechanical traction method"; the other is "cable tray moving and releasing method". Fiber blowing and fiber pulling are two primary methods used in ODN, metro, and backbone fiber installation. While both techniques achieve the same goal—placing fiber cables inside ducts—their engineering mechanics, tension characteristics, duct preparation requirements, and environmental. It is important when installing aerial optical fibre cable lengths to make proper arrangement for an adequate extra length of cable at a pole position for testing and jointing. For example, OPGW cables have an outer layer of aluminum clad steel wire, while the ADSS cables are self-supporting optical fibers. The laying of these two types of fiber optics is also. 1. The methods described are intended for guideline use only, as it is impossible to cover all the various conditions that may arise during an installation. Individual company practices for placing. An aerial cable is an insulated cable usually containing all fibres required for a telecommunication line, which is suspended between utility poles or electricity pylons.
