IEC 60794-4:2018 covers cable construction, test methods, optical, mechanical, environmental and electrical performance requirements for aerial optical fibre cables and cable elements which are intended to be used along power lines (OCEPL) as a high bandwidth transport media for. As the name suggests, aerial fiber optic cable is designed for overhead installation, suspended between utility poles, communication towers, transmission towers, or other supporting structures. The cable is small and imposes minimal additional load on the overhead line conductors, poles and towers. The installation technique means that SkyWrap can be deployed quickly and cost effectively. Prysmian offers an extensive range of aerial optical cables focusing on the need for high reliability along with cost efficiency. It is widely used in the construction of communication networks.
