Abstract
A self-supporting overhead telecommunication/power cable includes a supporting portion and a transmission portion mutually arranged according to a figure-8 configuration. The transmission portion includes at a central position thereof, an optical fibre conductor and, at a radially outer position with respect to the optical fiber conductor, electrical conductors stranded around the optical fiber conductor. Preferably, the electrical conductors are grouped into sub-units which are stranded around the optical fiber conductor to provide a mechanical protection thereto.
Claims7
A self-supporting overhead telecommunication/power cable comprising a single supporting portion and a transmission portion mutually arranged according to a figure-8 configuration, wherein the single supporting portion comprises messenger wire, and further wherein the transmission portion comprises, at a central position thereof, an optical fibre conductor and, at a radially outer position with respect to the optical fibre conductor, copper pairs grouped into subunits stranded around said at least one optical fibre conductor, wherein the copper pairs are stranded together and surrounded by a tape consisting of a polymeric material, each copper pair comprising two insulated electrical conductors twisted about one another.
