Suspension of the optical fiber cables onto the existing power transmission towers is the most common way of building long-distance optical communication systems. This method of installation is fast and does not require a lot of special-purpose equipment. Have a question?In general where end-pull or distributed pull methods are used the various methods as in underground duct installations to protect the cable from excessive strain during installation may also be employed for aerial cable. These include pulling, blowing, and pushing into ducts, direct burial, and aerial installation. The installation of aerial fiber optic cables can. For longer distances, fiber-optic cables are typically installed by hanging them between poles (aerial), laying them on the seabed (submarine), or burying them in the ground (underground). 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".
