Aerial Cable Placing Procedure
Aerial optical cable is suspended in the air from poles and/or support structures. Most often it is supported between poles by being lashed to a wire rope messenger strand with a small gauge wire.

Plan your outdoor fiber installation carefully by surveying the site, choosing the right cable type, and following FOA and OSP standards to ensure reliability. Deploying fiber above ground on poles or towers removes the need for underground digging and is particularly useful when the ground is uneven, rocky or both. (FOA) was founded in 1995 to help develop the workforce to build the fiber optic networks to support a rapid expansion in communications and the Internet. This approach demands specific skills and tools to make certain that the cables are adequately fixed and tensioned. An aerial cable is an insulated cable usually containing all fibres required for a telecommunication line, which is suspended between utility poles or electricity pylons. Select the best installation method—direct burial, aerial, conduit, or underwater—based on your environment and future network needs.
