Aerial Fiber Optic Cables — Frequently Asked Questions

What is an aerial cable?

An aerial cable is a communications cable designed to be strung overhead between poles or along utility rights-of-way. It is engineered for wind, UV, temperature swing, and ice loading, and uses self-supporting or messenger-supported constructions to carry its own weight over spans.

What are the different types of aerial fiber optic cables?

The two most common are ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting)—non-metallic and immune to lightning/EMI, ideal near power corridors—and Figure-8 self-supporting with an integrated steel messenger for short-to-medium spans. Variants include lash-to-messenger builds and armored options for added protection.

Which fiber type is best for long distances?

Single-mode fiber (e.g., G.652D or bend-optimized G.657.A1/A2) is best for long-distance aerial runs thanks to its low attenuation and wide wavelength support. Multimode (OM3/OM4/OM5) is typically used for shorter, high-bandwidth spans in access or campus networks.

Can fiber be aerial?

Yes. Aerial fiber optic cables are purpose-built for overhead installation. Choose ADSS for all-dielectric, lightning-safe routes, or Figure-8/self-supporting for spans that need a messenger. Correct sag/tension design, pole hardware, and weather/ice ratings are essential for long-term reliability.
