Abstract :
The authors discuss design criteria and dimensional guidelines for fibre optic short span aerial cables, the method of sag calculation, and cable strain behaviour. The installation method on poles and a comparison of three different metal free cable designs (tight buffered fibres, central loose tubes, stranded loose tubes) are reported. Only self supporting cables, metal free, with circular cross section are considered
