Home / Fiber optic cable laid on power pole
OPAC (optical power attached cable) is a type of fiber optic cable that is installed by attaching to a host conductor along overhead power lines. Deploying fiber above ground on poles or towers removes the need for underground digging and is particularly useful when the ground is uneven, rocky or both. One way round this is to install aerial fiber cables close to power lines, such as on mixed use poles which also carry electricity. This approach maximizes existing infrastructure and offers flexibility for future modifications as your capacity needs evolve.
It depends a lot on the owner of the cable and the owner of the pole. If the power company owns the fiber optic and the pole, they may choose to install it in what is called the Supply Space on the pole -
