Abstract
An optical aerial line has an optical cable extending parallel to an aerial electrical conductor and lashed to the electrical conductor by means of securing elements, wherein the securing elements have at least two binders helically wound onto the electrical conductor and the optical cable, and wherein the number of said binders, the tension of application of said binders, and the lashing pitch are selected so as to have a binding force of at least 5 kg/m, so as to avoid lateral displacements of the optical cable.
Claims18
An optical aerial line comprising an optical cable extending parallel to an aerial electrical conductor and lashed to the electrical conductor by means of securing elements, the securing elements comprising at least two non-adhesive binders helically wound around the electrical conductor and the optical cable, the number of said binders, the tension of application of said binders, and binder winding pitch being selected so as to have a binding force for unit length of the electrical conductor of at least 5 kg/m.
A method of installing an optical aerial line, comprising arranging an optical cable parallel to an aerial electrical conductor and lashing the optical cable to the electrical conductor, wherein lashing the optical cable comprises helically winding a plurality of non-adhesive binders around the electrical conductor and the optical cable, and wherein the number of said binders, the tension of application of said binders and the binder winding pitch are selected so as to have a binding force per unit length of the electrical conductor of at least 5 kg/m.
