What is areial cable?

Aerial cable is an electrical cable that is suspended above the ground, usually on poles or towers, to transmit power or signals over a distance. It is used for a wide range of applications, including power transmission, telecommunications, and cable television.

Aerial cable typically consists of one or more insulated conductors, which carry the electrical signals or power, and a protective outer sheath, which shields the conductors from environmental influences such as weather, UV radiation, or pests. The conductors may be made of copper, aluminum, or other conductive materials, and can vary in size and configuration depending on the application.

Aerial cable installation requires specialized equipment and skilled workers to ensure proper alignment and tensioning of the cable. It is also subject to various safety regulations and codes to prevent accidents and ensure reliable operation.

Aerial cable has some advantages over underground cable, such as lower installation costs and easier maintenance. However, it can also be more vulnerable to weather-related disruptions and may pose aesthetic and environmental challenges in some locations.
