Re: [WISPA] Fiber up towers?
I do not know exactly what guage/brand/type of wire, but it has "3125 07:08 ROHS" printed on it and then a number of feet. It is ran up the side of the tower and cable tied about every five feet. On the bottom end of the cable we have a PolyPhaser PLDO-120US20A to protect the equipment in the building from lightning strikes. The Armored fiber says "Chromatic technologies, Inc. Optical Fiber Cable 700 series ==62.5/125== 6F PN 200032. 03/01" and then the number of meters on it. and is cable tied with the AC.

Re: [WISPA] Fiber up towers?
110 vac. ran in conduit to a nema box mounted on tower,plastic conduit to run it and place junction boxes every 30' to place strain relief and assist the pull of fiber and romex. --- On Thu, 7/15/10, Josh Luthman wrote: From: Josh Luthman Subject: Re: [WISPA] Fiber up towers?

Re: [WISPA] Fiber up towers?
Corning riser rated armored is rated for 300 feet of unsupport vertical routing. It can be supported with a cable grip for 3/8" cable or LMR400. It can be attache to the tower with LMR400 snap ins or "butterfly" clamps or heavy duty ty-wraps.

Re: [WISPA] Fiber up towers?
I haven't done any, but I have seen where they run it in PVC, but every 20' or 30' they put in a section of flexible that is looped 360* so that the fiber is "supported" every 30'. I would think that regardless of what type it is you would want it supported. Most cable has a weight support limit that could easily be exceeded with the amount of cable required to go up a tower.

Re: [WISPA] Fiber up towers?
1. I do not think we are doing strain relief on the normal fiber, but on the armored we attached it to the tower with brackets every 4 feet or so. 2. We have done both. The non armored is easier to get to the fibers, but the armored can be attached directly to the tower. 3. The armored is attached directly to the tower, but the normal is in rigid conduit, until ~2 feet from the box at the top and then it is ~4 feet of flexible conduit 4. Normal fiber to Ethernet transceiver, the same we use at the bottom. We run AC up the tower to power our radios, fiber module(s), and router.

[WISPA] Fiber up towers?
This is a question for any of you running fiber up your towers. 1.How are you doing strain relief on the fiber? 2.Do you run it in conduit or use the armored stuff and not worry about conduit? 3.If conduit. Is it flexible or rigid? 4.What type of transceiver are you using at the top? Pics?
