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.

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? Lessons learned?
