Pole depth for optical cable lines

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recommend a minimum depth of 0. 6 meters for urban areas and 1. 0 meters for rural or agricultural zones to protect against frost, plows, and erosion. To this end, overhead optical cable construction generally has the following eight steps. Choose...
