Hardwares for Aerial Fiber Optic cable installation

Hardwares for Aerial Fiber Optic cable installation

Because of the different types of fiber optic dead-ends and tangent assemblies available, it is necessary to select the proper one for the cable design and route. In order to select the proper product the installer must know the following:

• nominal outside diameter of the cable
• degree of offset from one pole to the next
• maximum cable tension under loaded conditions

When ordering dead-ends, it is important to ensure that all other necessary pole hardware is ordered. These items include:

• thimble clevis
• eye nuts
• extension links (to maintain cable minimum bend radius)

Determine the proper attachment location of the cable on the poles. Mark the location of the attachment point on the cable with a wrap of tape.

Drill the appropriate holes in wooden poles or apply band attachments to concrete or metal poles and mount supporting hardware accordingly.

Refer to the manufacturer’s recommended procedures for installation.

For those applications where the cable may be subjected to wind-induced vibrations, special dampeners can be used to minimize these effects.
