1. General
This procedure provides general information for installing
Synergy Cables ADS Series ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-
Supporting) fiber optic cables. Each installation will be
influenced by local conditions.
The reader should be experienced in aerial fiber optic cable
placement.
This procedure contains references to specific tools and
materials in order to illustrate a particular method. Such
references are not intended as product endorsements.
Detailed instructions are marked by a grey background.
2. Safety Precautions
This section discusses some basic safety considerations
applicable to aerial cable installations.
Warning
• Cable installation in general and ADSS cable installation
in particular requires skill and know-how. Never attempt
to install ADSS cables with unskilled personnel.
• Use protective leather gloves and, if necessary, rubber
gloves. Use the leather gloves when climbing or
descending a pole, and when working with sharp
instruments or materials. Wear rubber gloves when
working near exposed electrical circuits.
• Use a safety harness on all bucket trucks and aerial lifts.
A body belt and safety strap for the bucket or platform
must be used when the equipment is in operation to
minimize the chance of injury.
• Before climbing a pole, inspect it for significant
deterioration and safety hazards splintering, insect nests,
sharp protrusions, etc.).
• Position all motorized equipment so that exhausts are
directed away from the location where most work will be
done.
• Under extreme conditions a cable under tension may
snap free and cause injury. Therefore, unless absolutely
necessary, personnel should not remain in an area
where a cable is being pulled around a piece of
hardware under tension. If needed, the installer can
remain in such an area if he or she stays clear of the
hardware under tension and has a clear path to safety.
• Keep hands free of tools or materials when climbing or
descending a pole or ladder. Do not step on cables,
cable enclosures, or suspended equipment which might
provide unsafe footholds.
• Read the entire procedure before starting a cable
installation. Thoroughly understand the procedure, its
precautions, and the tools and equipment required
before starting work.
3. Cable Handling
Caution
Care must be taken to avoid cable damage during placement
and handling. Fiber optic cables are sensitive to excessive
pulling, bending, twisting and crushing and impact forces.
Any such damage may alter the cable's characteristics to the
extent that the cable section may have to be replaced. To
ensure all specifications are met, consult the cable
specification sheet for the cable you are installing.
3.1 Installation Tension
There are two different tensions to keep in mind during
installation of ADSS cables. One is the maximum pulling
tension during installation; the other is the span tension.
The maximum tension during installation depends on the
cable construction and design. Values for standard Synergy
Cables ADSS cables are given in the table at the end of this
document.
After the cable is pulled in, it is placed in the pole hardware
under tension. This tension, referred to as the span tension,
is calculated for each cable to achieve a 1% installation sag
at different environmental conditions. Such conditions are
defined as Light, Medium and Heavy, reflecting different wind
velocity and ice buildup on the cable. The span tensions for
Light, Medium and Heavy conditions are given in the table at
the end of this document.
3.2 Minimum Bend Radius
Excessively sharp bends can damage the fibers in fiber optic
cables. The minimum bend radii for both tensioned and no-
tension conditions are found on the cable specification sheet.
As a general rule, the minimum bend radius for a non-
armored cable is as follows:
• Cable under load - 20 times the nominal outside
diameter of the cable
• Cable under no load -10 times the nominal outside
diameter of the cable.
3.3. Installation Methods
Two basic installation methods are commonly used:
Moving Drum Method: When a cable is pulled directly
from the cable drum mounted on a moving vehicle as it
drives along the pole line. The cable drum must be mounted

3. Website: www.Synergy-Cables.com E-Mail: export@synergy-cables.com Synergy Cables Ltd.
Page 3
TEC Division
on a proper support to allow easy cable pay off. This method
is described in Section 6 below.
Stationary Drum Method: In the stationary drum method
of aerial cable installation, the cable is pulled along the cable
route through temporary support hardware installed for this
purpose. This method is described in Section 5 below. The
Stationary Drum installation method is more time consuming
than the Moving Drum Method.
A complimentary installation technique is often used where
the cable is coiled on the ground in “figure-eight”
configuration. This technique is often used in order to pull
the cable in both directions from a central location.
Alternatively it is used when switching from the moving drum
installation method to the stationary drum installation
method.
The “figure-eight” configuration is shown in Figure 1. The
“Figure-Eight” coil should measure at least 10 m by 5 m and
be protected from passersby.
Figure 1: Laying down a cable in “figure eight”
configuration
When long lengths of cable need to be unreeled, there is a
danger that the weight of the coils may damage the cable at
the bottom. This can be prevented by spreading the cable
out into several figure-eight coils as shown in Figure 1.
In order to pull from a figure-eight coil, it is sometimes
necessary to turn it over to expose the cable end. This task
usually requires three persons, one at the center and one at
each end.
3.4 Cable Drum Care and Inspection
• Leave the protective covering on the drum intact until it
arrives at the installation site. Upon removal of the
protective covering, inspect the cable jacket for signs of
damage.
• If the covering has been previously removed, secure the
cable end(s) during transit to prevent damage. Cable
drums should be stored vertically on their flanges and
chocked to prevent rolling.
• Synergy Cables recommends measuring the fiber
attenuation in the cable just prior to installation using an
Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR).
• Make sure to have on hand the data sheet for the
specific cable to be installed in order to have first hand
information about its mechanical properties.
• During installation, periodically inspect the reel to ensure
that the through-bolts do not loosen. Tightening them
will ensure that the cable pays off the drum correctly.
4. Planning and Preparation
Prior to beginning an aerial cable installation, careful
planning and preparation are necessary. Representatives of
each organization potentially affected by the installation
(utilities, street department, police, etc.) should be present
during the route survey. Approval by all necessary parties
should be secured before detailed planning begins. A few of
the issues to be considered are listed in the following
paragraphs. Planning should be undertaken jointly by
construction and engineering personnel. Hardware
requirements should also be considered at the planning stage.
4.1 Route Planning, Pole Selection and
Authorization
• Determine the ability of existing pole lines and guys to
support the new cable, as well as any restrictions
imposed by the pole owner. The anchoring and guying
of the cable is crucial for its safe operation. Ideally, the
guying should remove all of the lateral stress on each
pole so that the pole simply supports the weight of the
cables, hardware and equipment attached to it. Your
company’s normal specifications concerning anchoring
and guying of poles should be followed.
• Set new poles only when there is no existing utility and
when a reasonable alternate route does not exist.
Written permission must be obtained from the proper
authorities before placing new poles, and all other
utilities having underground plant in the area must be
contacted so they can locate and mark their facilities
prior to new pole placement.
• Examine the ability of existing dead-end poles to
withstand the temporary stresses of installation. Because
it is impractical to tension each of the spans along the
route simultaneously, a dead-end pole will be subjected
to an unbalanced load as the cable is tensioned on one
end of the cable run before the other. This temporary
unbalanced loading can be relieved by placing temporary
guy wires on tangent poles where there is no down guy.
Determine whether temporary guying is needed
according to your company’s standard route engineering
guidelines.
• Ensure proper clearance from electric power lines and
other cables that may sag near the fiber optic cable.
Determine the clearances between the proposed fiber
optic cable plant and existing facilities on a case-by-case
basis by referring to local safety codes, and your
company’s standard operating procedures.

TEC Division
4.2 Installation Planning
Planning the actual installation should take place only after a
thorough route survey. The installation method to be used
(Moving Drum or Stationary Drum) will be largely dictated by
the cable route. On occasion, it may be necessary to use
both methods. With the proper installation hardware, any of
these methods can be used to install Solo ADSS cable.
4.3 Splice Locations and Cable Slack
Requirements
• Select splice locations during the route survey and make
plans for slack and splice closure storage. Splice
locations should be placed to allow for the longest
possible continuous cable spans and a minimum number
of splices.
• The splice points should be chosen to facilitate the later
splicing operation and should be easily and conveniently
accessible to a splicing vehicle.
• The amount of slack cable left at each splice point must
be sufficient to reach from the pole’s height to the
planned splicing vehicle location on the ground. An
additional 5 meters should be added onto this length to
allow for closure requirements (Figure 3). This slack
should be allowed for when planning the route and
ordering cable. Leave sufficient slack at each future drop
point to allow for splicing.
4.4 Pole Hardware
ADSS cable installations require a special tangent assembly
or a mechanical dead-end at each pole. Use the following
guidelines to identify the hardware needs of each pole:
• Line offset of 0 to 20° (horizontal or vertical) require
fiber optic tangent assembly (Figure 2)
• Line offset >20° (horizontal or vertical) or at the ends of
the cable require fiber optic dead-end (see Figure 3).
The cable must be properly tensioned as described in Section
7 before it is permanently secured into the tangent
assemblies and dead-end fixtures. Section 8, ADSS Cable
Hardware, provides guidance on installation of pole hardware.
Figure 2: Fiberoptic Tangent Assembly
Figure 3: Dead-ends are needed for line offsets more than 20°

Figure 4: Stationary Drum Installation Method
5. Stationary Drum Installation Method
In the stationary drum method of aerial cable installation, the
cable is pulled along the cable route through temporary
support hardware installed for this purpose (Figure 4). When
the cable is in place between splice points, the cable is
tensioned and terminated at each dead-end pole along the
route. The cable spans are then lifted out of the temporary
support hardware and placed in tangent clamps at each
intermediate pole.
The stationary drum method is generally slower and more
costly than the moving drum method, but can be used
anywhere since it does not require an unobstructed right of
way or vehicular access to the pole line. Higher costs are
imposed by the difficulty of coordinating the pulling operation
over the length of the route.
5.1 General Considerations
• Determine the cable drum and pull locations, each of
which can be at any point along the route. The location
of the cable drum and any subsequent intermediate pull
points must be determined during the route survey.
Some of the factors to consider are:
o Where significant elevation change occurs along the
route, it is usually best to pull downhill.
o The cable drum location should be accessible by the
drum carrying truck, but removed from vehicle and
pedestrian traffic.
• By using the “figure-eight” coiling procedure, cable from
one drum can be pulled in both directions from a central
point. The route can be subdivided into shorter pulls to:
o Keep the pulling tension below the cable’s rated
strength.
o Avoid pulling across sharp turns.
o Provide cable slack at designated points to allow for
future drops.
o Compensate for insufficient temporary support
hardware or personnel to cover the entire route.
o Installation time will be minimized if drums can be
set up for continuous pulls in both directions from a
splice point.
o To prevent damage to the cable during payoff:
• Keep the cable drum leveled to avoid cable rubbing
against the drum flanges.
o Orient the cable drum so that the natural payoff
direction is directly towards the first pole.
o Pay out the cable from the top of the drum as
shown in Figure 4 to eliminate possible cable
contact with the ground.
5.2 Temporary Support Hardware
• Temporary support hardware must be selected and
placed so as to maintain the cable’s minimum bend
radius throughout the route and to prevent the cable’s
entanglement on obstructions in the right-of-way.

6. Website: www.Synergy-Cables.com E-Mail: export@synergy-cables.com Synergy Cables Ltd.

TEC Division
5.3 Stringing Block Placement
• Hang the proper stringing block on each pole or support
structure. 50 cm (or greater) blocks should be used for
any offset poles ≥10° and 20 cm blocks utilized for
straight line poles (Figure 5).
• On poles with an offset greater than 10°, elevate the
block by securing a rope to the shackle to ensure proper
retention of the cable in the block. Attach the rope to
one bottom pin of the shackle, bring the rope above the
attachment point and back down to the opposite shackle
pin (Figure 6).
Figure 5. Stringing Blocks
5.4 Pulling Operation
• The pull can be accomplished by using a cable pulling
winch. Care must be taken not to exceed the cable’s
rated pulling strength. Use a tension monitoring or
limiting winch or install a break-away swivel properly
rated for the cable between the pulling line and the
cable (Figure 7).
Figure 7. Swivel and pulling grip
• During the pull, sufficient personnel should be on hand
to monitor the entire pull route. Two-way
communication should be established between the pull
point, the cable drum location, and each of the route
observers.
• Start the pull very slowly as the cable is drawn from the
drum at ground level up through the temporary support
hardware located atop the first pole. Once the cable end
is past the first pole, the pulling speed can be gradually
and steadily increased. If sufficient support hardware is
in place, pulling speeds on the order of 50 m per minute
are typical.
• Observers at the pull point drum location and along the
pull route must be alert for any condition which might
cause cable damage and be able to stop the pull
immediately if any damaging conditions are observed:
o Avoid exceeding the cable’s rated pulling strength
and bending the cable beyond its minimum bend
radius.
o Control the unreeling of the cable either by hand or
with a cable drum brake in order to prevent free-
running or jerking of the cable.
o At the pull point, winch the cable so as to prevent
either free-running or jerking of the cable. If either
is observed, the pull must be halted until the cause
is eliminated.
• Excessive oscillation or surging of the cable can be
damaging. Reduce the pulling speed or add additional
temporary support hardware to minimize these
conditions.
• When the cable reaches the pull point, do not allow it to
engage the winch unless the winch maintains the cable’s
minimum bend radius.
• Pull the amount of cable specified in the route plan and
pull plan. This amount should include all slack
requirements as outlined above.
• When the cable has been pulled into place as specified
by the route plan:
o Install a dead-end on one end of the cable span at
the cable drum end as outlined in Section 8.
o Complete any pole modifications or additional
temporary / permanent guying, as well as the
installation of the dead-end and tangent clamp pole
fixtures (see Section 8).
o Proceed to Section 7 for instructions on tensioning
and terminating the cable.

6. Moving Drum Installation Method
In the moving drum method, the cable is paid off of a
moving vehicle as it drives along the pole line. As the vehicle
passes each pole, the cable is raised into place and into a J-
hook (Figure 8) or block fitting for temporary support. This
procedure progresses down the
pole line until a dead-end pole is
reached.
At this point the cable is
tensioned and terminated into
dead-end fittings. The cable
between dead-ends is then lifted
out of the temporary fittings at
each of the inter-mediate poles
and placed in permanent tangent
assemblies.
Note: Some tangent assemblies
are designed to allow a cable to
be placed in them during the
moving drum method. After the
cable is span tensioned, an insert is placed in the assembly to
secure it. (Figure 9)
Figure 9. Tangent assembly
In most cases, the Moving Drum method is the fastest and
least expensive method of installing aerial cable. Pole-
mounted hooks are the only temporary support devices
required and fewer personnel are required than by other
methods. However, this method requires vehicular access to
the placement side of the pole line and a right-of-way clear
of tree limbs, guy wires, and other obstructions.
• Begin the installation with the drum-carrying vehicle
about 15 meters from the pole and facing away from it
down the pole line (Figure 10). The cable must pay off
the top of the drum towards the rear of the vehicle.
• Pull off the necessary amount of slack as specified above.
Prepare the cable and install the dead-end as specified
in Section 8.
• Lift the dead-end to the top of the pole and mount on
the pole fixture. It may also be necessary to pay out
additional length as the cable is lifted.
Figure 10. Moving drum installation set up

8. Website: www.Synergy-Cables.com E-Mail: export@synergy-cables.com Synergy Cables Ltd.

TEC Division
• Slowly drive the drum-carrying vehicle down the
placement side of the pole line, paying out cable off
the back of the truck. Once the drum is
approximately 15 meters past each pole, lift the
cable up the pole and place it in a J-hook or block
fitting (Figure 11).
• Once the cable drum reaches the end of the span, lift
the cable to its assigned position on the dead-end
pole.
• Complete any pole modifications or additional
temporary / permanent guying.
• Proceed to Section 7 for instructions on tensioning
and terminating the cable. The sequence in which
the cable sections are tensioned and dead-ended is
unimportant as long as a central pole is not
converged upon from both directions.
• After the cable sections are properly tensioned and
secured into dead-ends at both ends of the cable
span:
o Lift the cable out of the J-hooks / blocks at each
intermediate pole.
o Secure the cable in a tangent assembly on each
pole as described in Section 8.
Figure 11. Moving drum installation
7. Cable Tensioning
Caution
Proper measuring of tension is critical for a safe
installation of aerial plant. Please read and understand all
of Section 7 before attempting to apply tension to the
cable.
7.1 General
After the proper amount of cable has been placed in
temporary support hardware between the dead-end poles,
the cable must be properly tensioned before it is
permanently secured into tangent assemblies.
With a dead-end fitting already in place on one end of the
span, the cable is tensioned by pulling on its opposite
“free” end with a chain hoist, using the set up shown in
Figure 12.
Once the cable sections are under the required tension,
the “free” end of the cable is terminated into a dead-end
described in Section 8.
7.2 Tensioning Operation
Note: Before beginning this stage of the installation, any
pole modifications or additional temporary / permanent
guying must be completed.
• Proceed to the end of the cable section which does
not have a dead-end fitting already in place from the
cable installation procedure. Pull out all cable slack
between the dead-end poles.
• Install a temporary dead-end (as described in Section
8) approximately 3 to 4 meters away from the pole.
• Set up the temporary dead-end, a chain hoist, an in-
line dynamometer, and other hardware as shown in

9. Website: www.Synergy-Cables.com E-Mail: export@synergy-cables.com Synergy Cables Ltd.
Page 9
TEC Division
Figure 12. Typically, the chain hoist is strapped to
the dead-end pole. Specific operation of the chain
hoist should follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Apply tension to the cable with the chain hoist.
During the tensioning operation, do not exceed the
limits of maximum allowed pulling tension for the
cable and the strength of the poles themselves. For
long spans under high tension, it may be necessary
to use two chain hoist temporary dead-end set-ups in
succession to take out the slack and achieve the
necessary tension.
• The tension can be initially monitored at the dead-
end pole with the dynamometer shown in Figure 12.
When tensioning several straight spans (with few
offsets), it may be necessary to use false dead-ends
even though the pole offset is less than 20° (Figure
13). This may be necessary to ensure that a 1%
installation sag is maintained for all spans. Friction
built up on some of the blocks or J-hooks on the far
end of the tensioning operation may cause greater
than 1% sag in those spans.
• The number of spans between false dead-ends will
vary, depending on the route and span lengths, but
up to 20 straight pole spans are typical before false
dead-ends should be used.
• Once the cable section is under the required tension,
terminate the cable into a dead-end as described in
Section 8. The dead-end should be placed on the
cable where it reaches the pole fixture, unless
allowances are being made for grade changes or
turns.
Figure 12. Tensioning equipment
7.3 Tensioning Across Turns and Grade
Changes
Caution
As the cable is placed under tension, weaknesses in the
cable plant can cause failure of pole fittings, support
hardware or even the poles themselves.
The risk of death or injury due to such failures is best
minimized by keeping all but essential personnel clear of
the tensioning operation. Nobody should be allowed to
climb intermediate poles as the span they support is
being placed under tension. If possible, passersby on the
ground should be kept away from the poles during this
operation.
Within the cable bend radius and limitations discussed in
Section 3, the cable section may extend across turns and
grade changes in the pole line. Since an ADSS cable is
normally placed in the permanent support hardware after
tensioning, any change in pole line direction complicates
the process. Two possible cases are discussed below.
a) Cable on inside of turn:
As the cable in this situation is tensioned, the cable will
naturally tend to pull inside of the corner pole. A
horizontally mounted stringing block (per Figure 6) will
keep separation to a minimum.
Tension the cable in stages:
• Tension the cable to the degree planned from the
dead-end pole.

10. Website: www.Synergy-Cables.com E-Mail: export@synergy-cables.com Synergy Cables Ltd.
Page 10
TEC Division
• While monitoring the tension, move the cable from
the temporary support hardware at the inside turn to
the cable’s permanent support hardware on the pole.
• As the cable is pulled out to the pole, tension will
increase. Take care not to exceed the maximum
pulling tension of the cable or the capacity of the
poles and hardware. It may be necessary to relieve
tension by backing off with the chain hoist at the
dead-end pole. Continue this process until the cable
is in place on the pole at the inside turn.
b) Cable on the pole at a grade change:
• The procedure used to tension the cable across a
change of grade is similar to that used on an inside
turn. The cable will pull up or down, depending on
the direction of the grade change, rather than
horizontally as in the case of an inside turn.
Temporary support hardware must be mounted
accordingly.
Caution
Temporary support hardware used to restrain a cable
being tensioned will be subjected to a significant portion
of the cable’s tensile loading and must be mounted
accordingly.
Do not allow personnel on the inside turn pole while
tension is being increased at the dead-end pole. If
personnel are sent up the inside turn pole, they must stay
on the pole side opposite the cable.
8. Vibration Damping
Vibration dampers must be installed at the same time the
cable is clipped in to suppress Aeolian vibration which can
be induced by local environmental conditions. Experts in
the field state damage caused by Aeolian vibration is at its
peak in the first 24 to 48 hours after sagging and dead
ending than at any other period in the life of the cable
Spiral vibration dampers are recommended to be used on
all ADSS installations where voltages are below 230 kV.
These type dampers are very effective in damping. They
do not cause damage to the ADSS cable sheath. Since they
don't require patch rods they are easy to install and are
very economical.
9. Hardware
Synergy Cables does not recommend a specific hardware
manufacturer. It is important, though, to use high quality
hardware from reputable manufacturers in order to
assure a long term reliable and safe ADSS cable
installation.
In order to select the proper product the installer must
know the following:
• nominal outside diameter of the cable
• degree of offset from one pole to the next
• maximum cable tension under fully loaded conditions
• When ordering dead-ends, it is important to ensure
that all other necessary pole hardware is ordered.
(see Figure 13) These items include:
o thimble clevis
o eye nuts
o extension links (to maintain cable minimum bend
radius)
• Determine the proper attachment location of the
cable on the poles. Mark the location of the
attachment point on the cable with a wrap of tape.
• Drill the appropriate holes in wooden poles or apply
band attachments to concrete or metal poles and
mount supporting hardware accordingly.
• Refer to the manufacturer’s recommended
procedures for installation.
• Use vibration dampers to minimize wind effects.
