Aerial Rural Connectivity Optical Cable Solution

Fast, economical aerial connectivity for rural areas and remote sites — leveraging existing pole infrastructure without the cost and disruption of underground conduit installation.

Scenario Overview

Aerial optical cable deployment is the preferred method when underground conduit is unavailable, cost-prohibitive, or when rapid deployment is required. Rural connectivity projects, inter-building links across open areas, and temporary or semi-permanent connections all benefit from aerial installation.

The key challenge is selecting the right self-supporting structure for the span length, wind load, and installation environment. Figure-8 cable and ADSS cable serve different scenarios and must not be confused.

Critical Selection Factor

Span length and wind load determine cable type. Figure-8 for short spans (<100m) on standard poles; ADSS for longer spans or power line corridors.

Cable Selection by Span and Environment

Scenario / Environment Recommended Cable Selection Rationale
Short Span Rural (<80m) Figure-8 GYXTC8S Integrated messenger wire, easy pole installation, cost-effective
Medium Span (<150m) GYXTW / ADSS Short Span Self-supporting, suitable for standard pole spacing
Long Span (>150m) ADSS Medium/Long Span All-dielectric, no grounding required, suitable for power corridors
High Wind Load Area ADSS Reinforced Enhanced aramid yarn strength member, withstands high wind
Coastal/Humid Area Anti-UV GYXTW UV-resistant PE sheath, moisture-proof structure
Aerial Rural Connectivity Installation

Installation Requirements

  • Pole attachment: Use appropriate cable clamps and suspension hardware
  • Sag calculation: Proper sag prevents excessive tension in cold weather
  • Span limit: Do not exceed rated span; add intermediate poles if needed
  • Road crossings: Maintain minimum clearance height (typically 5.5m for roads)
  • Splice points: Aerial splice closures or bring cable down to ground-level closure
  • Grounding: ADSS cable requires no grounding; Figure-8 messenger wire must be grounded
  • Vibration dampers: Install at pole attachment points for long spans
