Basically, it’s a pole line that runs through back yards. Most of the poles in this town are either street side or in alleys, but in some places where they run through these grass alleys the trees aren’t trimmed and I think that may be part of our problem.

We have repaired a number of the ADSS cables that the school district ran that have been chewed by squirrels. So far we have not seen any damage to the armored cables that we replaced them with. Commscope makes an ‘alternative jacket’ cable that apparently tastes bad. Can’t say I have tried it (either installing it or eating it): https://www.commscope.com/catalog/doc/pdf/7460/Alternate_Jacket_Fiber_Optic_Cable.pdf Mark On Jun 4, 2019, at 2:27 PM, Clint Wiley <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Had our first fiber cut yesterday. Squirrels chewed open our aerial fiber cable in three places along a grass alley. I think this section will need some sort of squirrel protection. What are others doing to protect their fiber in spots like this?
