With a plethora of aerial fiber cable products on the market today it can be difficult to differentiate and fully appreciate why one construction is or isn’t more suitable than another.This blog aims to outline the different options once you’ve decided to go down the aerial route – for a more detailed look at the factors affecting the choice of aerial deployments take a look at this previous post.Taking a very broad overview of the aerial installation solutions presently available, there are two distinct approaches: either installing fiber into an aerial drop tube or microduct, or deploying a stand-alone self-supporting cable.Normally the fiber-in-duct approach will require two installation phases, whereas the self-supporting aerial cable route can be deployed in one stage. From this you’d assume that the self-supporting cable solution reduces labor costs.

Overhead fiber optic cable is an optical cable installed on poles. One of the most advantage for the overhead fiber optic cable is that it can use the original overhead wire and pole infrastructure. This overhead laying method can save a lot of construction costs and shorten the construction period.Since the overhead fiber optic cables are hung on electric poles, they are required to be able to adapt to various natural environments. They are generally used for long-distance lines, and overhead fiber cables are also suitable for dedicated network optical cable lines or some local special sections.

Carry out a full route survey, and make sure that representatives of each organisation potentially affected by the installation are present.Ensure that the right-of-way is free of obstacles, like guy wires and trees.Gain permission from any property owners and relevant authorities if you need to set up any equipment on private land.Make sure you have a properly trained and certified crew. They’ll need to be competent when working at heights, and have the right permits if working near power cables. Also, aim to employ experienced linemen that understand the aerial environment and its particular challenges.Make sure all of the necessary environmental checks and provisions are addressed, including accounting for wind and ice loads, galloping and vibration.Once you’ve completed the survey and gained all necessary permissions, you will need to decide whether you want to install the cable using stationary or moving reels.

Aerial fiber optic cable refers to a kind of fiber optic cable that is designed and used for outside plant (OSP) installation between poles by being lashed to a wire rope messenger strand with a small gauge wire. Generally speaking, they are usually made of heavy jackets and strong metal or aramid strength members. Adopting aerial fiber optic cables, the aerial construction will allow the installers to reuse the existing pole infrastructure without digging up other roads to bury cables or ducts, and will also save the capital expenditure for the network providers to some degree.

When there are telegraph poles between buildings, steel wire rope can be set up between buildings and poles, and optical cable could be thus tied on it; if there are no telegraph poles between buildings, but the distance is about 50m, optical cable can also be directly set up between buildings with steel wire rope.

When you walk on the street, have you noticed at the fiber cables hanging on the poles overhead? These cables are commonly called as aerial fiber cables, which are widely used for outside plant (OSP) installation on poles. Aerial fiber cables are designed to accommodate the severe environment preventing the destruction of the nature and man-made damage or theft. There are also different types of aerial fiber optic cables. This article will describe the common installation ways and things to notice during installation.

Aerial fiber optic cable is a type of fiber optic cables that is usually used for outside installation on poles. Due to its installation environment, the design of aerial fiber optic cable must consider to protect it from the destruction of the nature and man-made damage or theft. Aerial cable's laying method is not hard to implement as it can utilize the existing overhead pole line to install that saves more in construction costs and shortens the construction period. Aerial cables are mainly used for secondary trunk level and below and usually applied to flat terrain or low fluctuation area. They are easily affected by the natural disasters, such as typhoons, ice, floods etc. as well as the influence of an outside force and the mechanical strength weakening in themselves. Therefore, the failure rate of aerial fiber optic cables are higher than the pipeline or directly buried fiber optic cables.

Aerial cable types are typically used for outdoor aerial installation on poles. Its characteristic lies in its design, which is structured according to its installation environment. Since these cables are installed outside, aerial fiber optic cables are strong enough to withstand natural calamities and man-made damage or theft. Aerial cables are mainly used at the secondary trunk level and below. This type of cable is helpful for flat terrain or low-lying areas prone to fewer fluctuations.The installation method of aerial cables is simple to implement. They can utilize the existing overhead lines on the poles outside on the roads. This leads to shorter construction periods and a reduction in construction costs.

Several years ago, I received a phone call from OSHA asking me about aerial fiber optic cable installation. The concern was based on the recent electrocution deaths of two installers working with all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cables on utility poles with a mixture of high-voltage and telecom cables. In both cases, the installers were attaching a type of fixture that was just a guide for ADSS cable to a pole.If you are not familiar with ADSS cable, it is a special type of lightweight outside plant aerial cable designed for very high-tensile loads so it can be installed without a separate steel messenger to support it. It can be installed over very long spans, up to several kilometers in some cases, making it popular for use in rugged terrain to run between poles or towers, across rivers, canyons or other areas where supports cannot be easily installed.

As technology and internet usage advance, so does the way we transmit data. Fiber optic cables are now the gold standard for sending information quickly and securely. While many communities have opted to use aerial fiber optic cables, running fiber optic cables underground has its own set of pros and cons, the most widely argued is centered on the cost of underground implementation. With a new era of legislation and public grant funding aimed at bridging the digital divide across Washington and America, this topic merits revisiting.

Our team at GP Associates, Inc. offers a comprehensive range of services to help you make your business facility the best it can be, whether you are upgrading an existing building or campus or building a new one. In any construction process, one thing you’ll need to consider is how to connect your utilities to the building. When it comes to things like power, telephone lines, and fiber optic cables, you will need to choose between underground and aerial cable installation. While our team offers both, in this article, we’ll be focusing on aerial installation, going over its pros and cons to help you make an informed decision on the matter.

Based on the installation position of the cables, aerial fiber optic cables can be divided into self-supporting and catenary type. Catenary type optical cable is a type of cable that suspends a outdoor fiber cable on another suspension wire fastened to a pole, which carries tension. While self-supporting type is directly laid on the pole, overcoming long-distance and carrying tension through the structure of the cable.

Rubber cable is the use of rubber as the insulation material of the cable, which can withstand a higher load, in the power system, machinery, steel, and other fields widely used.

Rubber has been used as cable insulation and sheathing material long before other insulation such as PVC and PE can to be commonly applied. It remains widely used across domestic and industrial applications.

Rubber cable is a rubber sheathed cable, as the name suggests is a variety of rubber or equivalent performance of the thermosetting elastomer for the insulation and sheath-based wire and cable. The so-called thermosetting plastic elastomer is after a heating curing, its shape is because molecular chain internal hinge and make the shape to stabilize (usually the process called curing or cross-linking) again on the heating can not let it again to viscous flow state, and then again the of processing and molding of the elastomer.

Construction projects have seen tremendous advancements in technology, which have paved the way for innovative solutions to improve structural integrity and safety. One of those solutions is prestressed concrete strand (PC strand).

Ever wondered how several construction designs for tower construction, such as long-span bridges and overhead crane beams, stay intact and secured? Industrial steel strands are an essential piece of hardware used in these concrete structures for reinforcement and security.

PC strand, also known as prestressed concrete strand, is a type of steel reinforcement used in construction. It is made by taking high-tensile steel wire and subjecting it to a process known as prestressing.

Industrial strands are a crucial piece of hardware used for reinforcement and securement in concrete structures. Construction designs often use various types of strands for tower construction, large-span bridges, and overhead crane beams.Since industrial strands are responsible for supporting thousands of pounds of concrete, only the strongest, most durable materials must be used. Although nearly all industrial strands are made from steel, several different types are designed for varying applications.
