Guidelines To Aerial Fiber Installation

Aerial fiber installation can be performed by lashing a fiber optic cable designed for aerial lashing to an existing steel messenger wire. These fiber optic cables may be lashed to the steel messenger wire even if there is already another fiber optic cable attached. Some precautions to aerial lashing include the following:

1. Follow the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) for all installations

2. Cables installed near high voltage lines should be grounded.
Cables that contain a corrugated steel tape should be grounded

3. The steel messenger shall be grounded

4. Maintain proper clearances between the fiber optic cable and the power cables

5. Make allowances for changing sag of the steel messenger wire in various weather conditions.

6. Steel messenger wire will expand and increase sag in warm weather.

7. The steel messenger should be kept on one side of the poles (avoid zigzagging from one side of the pole to the other)

8. Maintain proper tension with the lashing wire and avoid excessive tension.
