Fiber optic cable laying on poles and towers

An aerial fiber network uses existing telephone or power poles to hang fiber optic cables overhead. 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. Fiber in a duct solutions have a major aesthetic. The Fiber Optic Association, Inc. (FOA) was founded in 1995 to help develop the workforce to build the fiber optic networks to support a rapid expansion in communications and the Internet.
