If you are in need of a dielectric aerial fiber cable, keep in mind that there's a large assortment of ADSS cables available from different vendors. There are versions suitable for very long spans and any count you'd like. ADSS cables can be more cost effective than figure-8, but it depends on your circumstances. The main downside is that ADSS requires compatible hanging hardware and you can't overlash additional cables on it. Jared

As long as it's cheaper than hanging a messenger strand to hit one house then I've got uses for it. On 12/8/2018 8:03 PM, Chris Fabien wrote: What's the cost? Would it be robust enough to hang and mainline on a rural sideroad?

It's exactly what I've been hunting for: A solution for rural drops on long spans in heavy ice load areas, and no steel so no grounding. It's a full 0.5" wide so you have to get some extra wide hangers to go with it. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected][mailto:[email protected]] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com[http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com] -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
