Description of Aerial Fiber Optic Cable


Aerial fiber optic cable is typically used when installing outside the pole. It is a fiber optic cable. Because the aerial fiber optic cable is installed externally, it is designed to protect against natural damage or man-made damage and theft. At present, aerial fiber optic cable is mainly used for secondary trunk lines and below. It is typically installed in flat terrain or low-fluctuation areas.

Types of Aerial Fiber Optic Cable


What is Aerial Fiber Optic Cable


Aerial fiber optic cable is a type of fiber optic cable that is installed above ground, typically on poles. The design of aerial fiber optic cables must take into account protection from natural damage and man-made damage or theft. Aerial fiber optic cable is commonly used for secondary trunk lines and below, particularly in flat terrain or low-fluctuation areas. The installation process involves using existing aerial poles, which can greatly reduce construction costs and shorten the construction period. However, aerial fiber optic cables are more susceptible to natural disasters, external forces, and mechanical stress than other installation methods such as duct or direct bury fiber optic cables. In the event of natural disasters like typhoons, ice, or floods, aerial fiber optic cables have a higher failure rate.

The Classification of Aerial Fiber Optic Cables


Aerial fiber optic cables can be classified into two categories: Self-supporting and Catenary. The choice between these two types depends on the installation's methods. Catenary wire aerial fiber optic cable can be helically lashed to a messenger wire or another optical cable, which is commonly used in CATV applications. If the installation doesn't have an existing messenger wire, can opt for the self-supporting aerial fiber optic cable type.


Among the self-supporting aerial fiber optic cables, the figure 8 optical cable and ADSS self-supporting aerial fiber optic cables are widely used due to their easy and cost-effective installation. They are commonly employed in long-haul and building network communication. Different types of figure 8 optical cable and ADSS self-supporting aerial fiber optic cables are available in the market, including GYTC8S, GYXTC8Y, GYXTC8S, ADSS, ASU, GYFXTBY and others. These aerial fiber optic cables vary in their structures and materials used. The choice of aerial fiber optic cable depends on various factors such as the span length, environmental conditions, and required bandwidth. It is important to choose the right type of fiber optic cable for the specific application to ensure reliable and efficient data transmission.
