Aerial Fiber Optic Cable

Aerial installation is a method of installing fiber optic cable by suspending it from poles or other overhead structures.

This type of installation is commonly used in areas where it is not feasible to bury the cable underground, such as in mountainous or urban areas.
In an aerial installation, the fiber optic cable is attached to poles or other structures using clamps, brackets, or other specialized hardware.

The cable is then typically strung between poles or other structures using specialized equipment, such as a bucket truck or a helicopter.

There are two main methods for aerial fiber optic cable installation: the moving reel method and the stationary reel method.

1. Moving Reel Method:

• Used when a cable reel trailer or aerial lift truck can easily move along the pole line without obstructions.
• A one-pass operation that saves time and does not require cable blocks or pull lines, increasing efficiency.

2. Stationary Reel Method:

• Used when laying the cable over an existing lateral cable or encountering obstructions.
• The choice of vehicles and equipment availability also influences this method’s use.

1. When laying aerial optical cable in a flat environment, use the hook to hang it; when laying the aerial optical cable on a mountain or steep slope, use the binding method to lay the optical cable. The optical cable joint should choose a straight pole position that is easy to maintain, and the reserved optical cable is fixed on the pole with a reserved bracket.

2. The optical cable of the aerial pole road is required to make a U-shaped telescopic bend every 3~5 poles, and about 15m is reserved for every 1km.

3. Use galvanized steel pipes to protect the aerial optical cables leading up, and the nozzles of the pipes should be blocked with fireproof mud.

4. Aerial optical cables should hang optical cable warning signs every 4 bars or in special areas such as crossing roads, rivers, and bridges.

5. The intersection of the empty suspension line and the power line should be protected by a trident protection tube, and the extension of each end should not be less than 1m.

6. The pull wires of electric poles near the road should be covered with light sticks, and the length is 2m.

7. In order to prevent the induced current from the suspension wire from hurting people, each pole pull wire is required to be electrically connected to the suspension wire, and each pull wire position should be installed with a pull wire ground wire. The suspension wire is required to be directly connected with a lining ring and grounded directly at the terminal.

8. The aerial optical cable is usually 3m above the ground. When entering the building, it must pass through the U-shaped steel protective sleeve on the outer wall of the building, and then extend downward or upward. The aperture of the optical cable entrance is generally 5cm.

The minimum order length of fiber optic cable is 1km. Because the outside diameter needs to be adjusted before producing.
This process will waste dozens of meters of raw material.

Yes. We have Fujikura, Corning SMF 28e, and other brands fiber to choose from.

Yes. As long as we confirm the Pantone color code, we can produce the sheath color you request.

Yes. We will have a dedicated process engineer to interface with you to understand the specific situation and give our production advice.

Yes. We can print company information or logos on fiber optic cables upon request.

Under 100 km, it takes 4-5 days to produce. under 500 km, it takes 7-10 days to produce.

All fiber optic cables will come with a test report. If you encounter any quality problems, we replace them with new ones free of charge.

We have a special laboratory for high temperature, salt spray and vibration testing.
