Figure 8 Aerial self support cables are designed medium span aerial installations, they have ultraviolet
and harsh outdoor environment protection.
Up to 12 fibers are there in each jelly filled plastic compound tube, which are stranded around a FRP
strength member, water blocking tape and covered by a PE outer sheath. The cable core is fully dielectric
so gives lightning protection. The upper part of figure 8 has seven number messenger wires made of
stranded galvanized steel wire with PE outer sheath.
They have small diameter, light weight, good bend resistance performance. The messenger cables support
the fiber cables to withstand the tensile force for aerial installations. The PE outer sheath gives excellent
environment and ultraviolet protection to the cable.

Optical Characteristics
Of all the differences between multimode & singlemode fiber, the most fundamental differences are the
size of the fiber's core and the associated attenuation or loss and bandwidth of the fiber. The smaller the
core diameter, the higher the fiber's bandwidth and the lower the attenuation (loss in dB per kilometer).
The fiber's attenuation and bandwidth are also dependent on wavelength.
Singlemode was for high-speed longdistance transmission and multimode (in either the 50 µm or 62.5 µm
core diameters) was used for lower speed short distance applications. Multimode 50 µm fiber had a lower
cost and higher modal bandwidth than multimode 62.5 µm core fiber. Bandwidth is a measurement of the
data carrying capacity of the fiber. A higher bandwidth fiber carries more data. See table below. Fiber Type | Max. Attenuation (dB/km) | Min.Overfill Launch Bandwidth (Mhz.km) | Min.Gigabit Ethernet Link Distance (m) |
