Some of the common tools include aerial storage for cables; telescoping poles; fiber heat shrink tube; brackets; blocks; cable saddles; fiber suspension clamp; cable rings, horizontal fiber splice closure, dome fiber splice closure, fusion splicers, etc. Many different methods are used for cable installation. The installation of aerial fiber optic cables can. 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. Fiber in a duct solutions have a major aesthetic. Installation tools include some big hardware like bucket trucks, trenchers, cable pullers or plows. Many contractors do not own expensive equipment like this, finding it more cost effective to rent it as needed. If your crews are. They support your cable by providing the means of suspension and elevation, keeping the cable properly tensioned while it is hanging and offering some protection against wind, vibration, and all the other forces of nature. They are very high quality and offer precise and clean cutting for wire, braiding. Aerial work mixes mechanical engineering (span, sag, tension), careful selection of cable types (ADSS, figure-8, lashed) and a disciplined safety-first attitude.
