Optical fibre cables - Part 4-20: Sectional specification - Aerial optical cables along electrical power lines - Family specification for ADSS (all dielectric self-supported) optical cables IEC 60794-4-20:2018 covers optical telecommunication cables, commonly with single-mode fibres used primarily. This document covers the construction, mechanical, electrical, and optical performance, installation guidelines, acceptance criteria, test requirements, environmental considerations, and accessories compatibility for an all dielectric, self-supporting fibre optic (ADSS) cable. This document. The Fiber Optic Association, Inc. (FOA) was founded in 1995 to help develop the workforce to build the fiber optic networks to support a rapid expansion in communications and the Internet.

Aerial installation is perhaps the most economical alternative when existing lines of poles can be used. “FIGURE 8” FIBRE OPTIC AERIAL CABLES. These cables are self supporting cables with an integrated messenger wire in the cable sheath.
