Aerial Fiber Optic Cable Specifications

Afl s non armored loose tube fiber optic cables are designed to provide high fiber counts with the flexibility and versatility required for today s most demanding installations.

Aerial fiber optic cable specifications.

Completely metal free design with fiber counts from 12 to 288 fibers suitable for deployment near high voltage power lines in long spans. Also available in mid and long length spans. Also available in mid and long length spans. The latter is strong enough to support itself between structures without using conductive metal elements which can be further divided into all dielectric self supporting adss cable and figure 8 cable.

The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed. Design details for span lengths up to 1500ft 457m and fiber counts up to 432. Cable t v outside plant and telecom applications are a few examples in which aerial fiber optic cable is often utilized. Single pass installation no messenger no lashing wire faster and lower cost.

These cables can be installed in short spans between aerial poles without a separate messenger upon which to attach the optical cable. These cables can be installed in short spans between aerial poles without a separate messenger upon which to attach the optical cable. A fiber optic cable also known as an optical fiber cable is an assembly similar to an electrical cable but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. Aerial fiber also features a galvanized messenger wire for stability as well.

The former is a kind of regular outdoor loose tube cables that can be helically lashed to a messenger or another cable common in catv. Lashing fiber optic cable to a messenger cable the installation process of a lashed aerial fiber optic cable will generally require one or more bucket trucks to allow workers to reach the location of the lashing guide cables around poles and through trees or other obstacles and move the lasher across poles. We supply aerial fiber in 9 125 single mode as well as in 50 125 om1 om2 om3 and om4 multimode variations. According to the installation methods aerial fiber optic cables can be generally classified as two types catenary wire and self supporting.
