In certain locations, it may be challenging for linemen to access an overhead line. By using a retrofit product called SkyWrap from AFL, however, they can install a fiber-optic cable on overhead lines quickly and cost effectively, according to the company.
The small cable imposes minimal additional load on the overhead line conductors, poles and towers, which allows utilities to increase network fiber capacity with minimum disruption to electricity supply services.
