Install vertical, unfilled, loose tube cables with loops to prevent the fiber from slipping to the bottom of a vertical run. Check continuity and attenuation. Therefore the routing of fiber optic cables is less critical than for copper cables. This is due to several potential risks and complications that can arise from such an arrangement. You should pull on the fiber cable strength members only! Never exceed the maximum pulling load rating.
[pdf] 89 describes the general requirements and a design guide for suspension wires, telecommunication poles and guy-lines that support aerial cables for optical access networks. This Recommendation also describes loads applied to the infrastructures. There are 2 main laying types for overhead fiber optic cables, hanging under steel strands and self-supporting. Unlike buried cable, they excel in rural or suburban areas where trenching is impractical. Key advantages include: Cost. It is constituted of AS wire, AA wire and stainless steel tube op-unit.
