**1. GENERAL**

**1.1** This bulletin discusses in particular the construction of aerial
plant using filled copper cables and filled fiber optic cables. The
information and recommendations in this bulletin are advisory.

**1.2** Aerial plant for both filled copper cables and filled fiber
optic cables should be constructed by attaching cables to utility poles
at varying span lengths by lashing cables to separate suspension
strands. Filled fiber optic cables may also be constructed using cables
containing an integrated suspension strand. Filled fiber optic aerial
cables containing integrated suspension strands are referred to as a
self-supporting fiber optic cables.

**1.3** Some of the work items associated with aerial plant construction
are as follows:

a\. Pre-installation inspection of copper cables and fiber

optic cables;

b\. Pre-installation inspection of self-supporting fiber

optic cables;

c\. Pre-installation inspection of suspension and guy

strands and lashing wires;

d\. Installation and tensioning of the suspension strand;

e\. Installation of guy strands and pole anchors;

f\. Installation of aerial splice and ready-access cases

for copper cables;

g\. Installation of aerial filled splice cases for fiber

optic cables;

h\. Installation of aerial filled splice cases for

self-supporting fiber optic cables;

i\. Installation of cable slack loops at utility poles for

fiber optic cables;

j\. Splicing of copper cables and connection of shield

bonds and related grounding;

k\. Splicing of fiber optic cables;

l\. Connection of armor bonds and related grounding for

aerial, armored fiber optic cables;

m\. Terminating aerial service wire to filled terminal

blocks in ready-access cases, fixed count and pole

mount terminals;

n\. Placement of load coils \[When loaded lines are

determined by RUS to be economically feasible and the overall system
design complies with the Modernization

Plan (7 CFR 1751, Subpart B)\];

o\. Placement of digital carrier repeater housings and

lightwave repeater housings; and

p\. Conducting acceptance tests.

c\. Newtons (N) = Pound-force (lbf) x 4.448;

d\. °C = 5/9 x (°F - 32); and

e\. Kilograms per meter (kg/m) =

Pounds per foot (lb/ft) x 1.488.

**2. INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION**

**2.1** The construction of aerial plant facilities should be inspected.
This inspection should be accomplished after the construction operation
has been completed by the resident engineer or resident engineer's
assigned inspector. The resident engineer or resident engineer's
assigned inspector also has the responsibility to verify that the
correct class and length of pole; correct strand size; correct pair
sizes, gauges, and type of copper cables; and the correct number of
optical fibers, type of optical fibers, and types of fiber optic cables
have been installed and free of damage after construction has been
completed.

**2.2** When more than one aerial plant construction operation is being
performed at the same time, each construction operation after completion
should be inspected. During construction of cables, construction may be
stopped pending the resident engineer's decision concerning proposed
changes in the construction route from that shown on the construction
drawings. Undue delays in making such decisions are costly to the
borrower and should be avoided.

**2.3** All reels of filled copper and fiber optic cables; reels of
filled, self-supporting fiber optic cables; reels of suspension strands;
and spools of lashing wires should be inspected by the contractor before
installation for visual signs of damage. In addition, filled copper,
filled fiber optic, and filled, self-supporting fiber optic cable ends
should be sealed to prevent moisture entry into the cores of copper and
fiber optic cables during transportation, in storage, and during
placement.

**2.4** The aerial plant construction route should be inspected before
beginning construction. When selecting the aerial plant construction
route, the convenience and ease of installation should be considered
providing the quality of construction, which would affect future
operation and maintenance of the telecommunications system, is not
decreased and construction costs to the borrower are not substantially
increased.

**2.5** Cables, suspension stands, lashing wires, etc. should be
inspected after installation to ensure that cables, suspension strands,
lashing wires, etc. have not be damaged and to verify that proper cable
sags and tensions have been maintained

throughout the line. Cables should be checked for damage at severe
changes in grade, corners, and corner angles after installation.

**2.6** Installation of reel-end splices which may change proposed
digital carrier or lightwave repeater locations should be considered for
re-routing. Because of the limited deviations allowed in digital carrier
or lightwave repeater spacings, all repeatered lines should be
constructed first, starting at the central office and advancing in the
direction of the repeatered line in a continuous operation to the last
repeater point on each repeatered section unless otherwise specified in
the contract. Deviations from this procedure should be approved in lieu
of holding up the construction project in the event of late cable
deliveries, or right-of-way (R/W) difficulties, etc.

**2.7** Installation of reel-end splices on loaded lines \[When loaded
lines are determined by RUS to be economically feasible and the overall
system design complies with the Modernization Plan (7 CFR 1751, Subpart
B)\] which may change proposed load coil locations should be considered
for re-routing. Because of the limited deviations allowed in load coil
spacings, all loaded lines should be constructed first, starting at the
central office and advancing in the direction of the loaded line in a
continuous operation to the last load point on each loaded section
unless otherwise specified in the contract. Deviations from this
procedure should be approved in lieu of holding up the construction
project in the event of late cable deliveries, or R/W difficulties, etc.

**2.8** Sequential markings on the outer jackets of cables are provided
to facilitate proper spacing of digital carrier or lightwave repeater
housings, load coils \[When loaded lines are determined by RUS to be
economically feasible and the overall system design complies with the
Modernization Plan (7 CFR 1751, Subpart B)\], but should not be used for
the inventory of cable units. The inventory of aerial cable units should
be based on span length measurements. The resident engineer and the
contractor should agree on the inventory of aerial plant units as they
are installed. Construction drawings should be appropriately marked so
they can be used as permanent records of all plant items.

**2.9** Aerial splices and cases for filled copper cables should be
inspected to verify that:

a\. Jackets have been properly prepared;

b\. Conductors have been properly spliced;

c\. Shields have been bonded and grounded; and

d\. Aerial splice cases have been properly installed.

**2.10** Aerial splices and filled aerial cases for filled fiber optic
and filled, self-supporting fiber optic cables should be inspected to
verify that:

a\. Jackets have been properly prepared;

b\. Optical fibers have been properly spliced;

c\. Buffer tubes containing the optical fibers have a

sufficient amount of slack;

d\. Armors of armored, filled fiber optic cables have been

bonded and grounded;

e\. Encapsulating compounds have been properly mixed and

applied; and

f\. Aerial filled splice cases have been properly installed.

**2.11** Ready-access cases and fixed count and pole mounted terminals
for filled copper cables should be inspected to verify that:

a\. Jackets have been properly prepared;

b\. Cable conductors have been properly spliced;

c\. Cable shields have been bonded and grounded;

d\. Aerial service wires have been properly terminated; and

e\. Ready-access cases and fixed count and pole mounted

terminals have been properly installed.

**2.12** Construction drawings should be accurately marked to indicate
the following:

a\. Routing of cables;

b\. Class and length of each pole;

c\. Location of each pole and anchor;

d\. Pole numbers;

e\. Span lengths;

f\. Suspension strand size for each copper or fiber

optic cable;

g\. Lengths, pair sizes, gauges, and types of copper cables;

h\. Lengths, number and types of optical fibers, and types

of fiber optic cables;

i\. Locations of aerial splice cases, fixed count or pole

mounted terminals;

j\. Locations of slack splicing loops and aerial filled

splice cases for fiber optic cables;

k\. Final sag and tension of copper or fiber optic cables;

l\. Separation in feet or meters between telecommunications

cables and foreign cables (such power, coax, etc.) on

joint occupancy construction;

m\. Locations of load coils \[When loaded lines are

determined by RUS to be economically feasible and the

overall system design complies with the Modernization

Plan (7 CFR 1751, Subpart B)\];

n\. Locations of digital carrier or lightwave repeater

housings; and

o\. Locations of other aerial utilities or obstacles.

This should facilitate future reinforcements which may be required on
the project.

**2.13** For copper cable aerial construction projects, aerial splice
cases, labor, and other materials associated with the installation of
reel-end splices are included in the CW assembly unit. Therefore, such
splice cases are not covered in the final inventory for compensation
purposes. Although the splice cases are not inventoried, all splice
cases and cable lengths should be shown on the construction drawings for
future reference. Construction drawings should also indicate the
location of all aerial splice cases that were installed for the purpose
of repairing cable damage that occurred during construction.

**2.14** For fiber optic cable aerial construction projects, the CO and
CFO assembly units do not include filled, aerial splice cases, labor,
and other materials associated with the installation of reel-end
splices. Therefore, such splice cases should be covered in the final
inventory for compensation purposes. All aerial filled splice cases and
cable lengths should be shown on the construction drawings for future
reference. Construction drawings should also indicate the location of
all filled, aerial splice cases that were installed for the purpose of
repairing cable damage that occurred during construction.

**2.15** The aerial construction route should be cleared to a width that
will allow for passage of the cable and placing equipment. The
responsibilities in regards to obtaining, operating on, clearing
obstructions (trees, bush, etc.), disposal of debris and restoration of
public and private R/W, including any compensations are defined in RUS
Bulletin 345-153, Specifications and Drawings for Construction of Pole
Lines, Aerial Cables and Wires (RUS Form 515f).

**2.16** In addition to the recommendations given in this bulletin,
installation of the aerial plant telecommunications cables should also
be performed in accordance with the requirements of the latest edition
of the NESC or Federal, State, or local codes. [Where Federal, State, or
local codes are more stringent than the NESC, the installation of the
aerial telecommunications cables should be performed in accordance with
the more stringent codes]{.underline}.

**3. SUSPENSION STRAND STRINGING**

**3.1** The suspension strand usually will be supplied on a reel. To
allow removal of the suspension strand from the reel, the reel should be
supported using one of the following methods:

a\. Pay-out frames;

b\. Strand reel jacks;

c\. Strand reel hangers; or

d\. Cable reel jacks.

**3.2** The suspension strand's maximum practicable length should be
payed-out in one pull. The length of the strand payed-out using the one
pull method will depend on the following items:

a\. Changes in grade;

b\. Interference from trees, other cables, etc.; or

c\. The number of corners and the corner angles.

**3.3** When cutting of the suspension strand is required for placement
of the strand, first wrap a double layer of friction tape around the
strand for a length of 3.0 in. (76 mm) to prevent the spreading of
individual strand wires and/or flying of metal particles. Then cut the
stand at the mid-point along the tape. The strand should be cut using
either a strand cutter or a hacksaw. Other methods and safety
precautions for cutting the suspension strand may be used provided
agreement is obtained between the contractor and resident engineer.

**3.4** Factory splices in the strand from the manufacturer are be
marked with a band of paint in accordance with 7 CFR 1755.370, RUS
Specification for Seven Wire Galvanized Steel Strand. Such splices
should not be bent around strand connectors, eye bolts, or at small
radius bends.

**3.5** Stringing of suspension strands for lashed filled copper or
fiber optic cables should begin only after the guying of utility poles
has been completed in a section of line.

**3.6** The suspension strands should be placed on utility poles using
one of the following methods:

a\. Raising the strand from ground level up to the

suspension clamps on the poles. This method should be

used when no obstructions exist such as cables, guys,

trees, etc.;

b\. Placement of strand through the strand grooves of the

suspension clamps. The clamp nuts should be tightened

only enough to hold the strand in the clamp groove.

This is to avoid binding of the strand during the

pull-in or tensioning operation;

c\. Placement of strand over the nut which is between the

suspension clamp and the pole. The strand should be

placed in the clamp groove at every fifth or sixth pole

in straight sections of line and also where there is a

high point or a dip. The clamps where the strand is

placed in the grooves should have the clamp nuts

tightened as stated in Item b of Paragraph 3.6; or

d\. Placement of strand over drive hooks or nails driven

into the poles at or below the expected height of the

cable through bolts. If hooks are used, the hooks

should be driven into the poles leaving only space

enough between the hooks and the poles to permit

slipping the strand in the hooks. As stated in Item

c of Paragraph 3.6, the strand should be placed in

the clamps at every fifth or sixth pole. The hooks

should be removed after the through bolts have been

placed and the strand has been placed in the clamps.

**3.7** Where it is necessary to place the suspension strand above
secondary power wires (not primaries), above guy wires to a power line
on separate poles, or over highways, the strand should be installed
between the poles using the rope method. This method consists of
installing a rope containing rope loops or cable rings between the
poles. The suspension strand is then placed in loops or rings to support
the strand between the poles. The diameter of the rope should not be
less than 0.5 in. (13.0 mm). The rope between the poles should remain in
place until the strand has been tensioned and deadended.

**3.8** Where there is a possibility of the strand coming in contact
with the power wires during stringing or tensioning, the strand should
be held in place with ropes having diameters equal to or greater than
0.37 in. (9.4 mm).

**3.9** Where a cable diminishes in size and a smaller size of
suspension strand could be used for the smaller cable it is more
practical to continue to string the larger size strand rather than make
a strand connection to the smaller size strand, if the extension beyond
the diminishing point is equal to or less than 1,000 ft (305 m). A false
deadend should be placed on the larger strand size and guyed as shown on
Guide Drawing 211 of RUS Bulletin 345-153 (RUS Form 515f).

**3.10** The stringing of the suspension strand on joint occupancy poles
should be performed in accordance with the latest edition of the NESC.

**4.** **SUSPENSION STRAND SPLICES**

**4.1** Two methods are available for splicing suspension strands. The
first method uses guy clamps and strand connectors. The guy clamp method
is shown on Guide Drawing 204 of RUS Bulletin

345-153 (RUS Form 515f).

**4.2** The second method uses terminating devices that are rated to
develop the strength of the appropriate suspension strand being used in
the construction project. These devices are available in sizes for
splicing two strands of the same size and for splicing 6M to 10M strands
or 10M to 16M strands. These terminating devices should be used over the
clamp method because the devices eliminate the cutting and clamping of
lashing wires at strand splices. These devices are also more economical
from the standpoint of material and labor costs.

**4.3** Splicing of support strands of filled, self-supporting fiber
optic cables should be made using insulated automatic type splicing
sleeves. It is important that only enough insulation be removed from the
support member to properly install the splicing sleeves.

**5. SUSPENSION STRAND TENSIONING**

**5.1** The ambient air temperature at the time of strand tensioning
should not be taken in direct sunlight because the hot sunlight will
increase the strand temperature above that in an adjacent shaded area.
The tension required for the shade temperature, if applied to the strand
at the hotter temperature, will result in some tension increase when the
strand cools. However, this has been taken into consideration in the sag
and tension tables.

**5.2** The initial strand tension required depends on the suspension
strand size, the temperature at which the strand is tensioned, and on
the average span length. There is a definite tension for each strand
size for each average span length at each temperature. The initial
tension and sag data for the installation of only the 6M, 10M, and 16M
Extra High Strength Galvanized Steel (EHS) suspension strands at various
temperatures and average span lengths are given in Tables 1, 2, and 3.

+------------------------+------------+--------------+----------------+

**5.4** A dynamometer should be used rather than sag measurements in
suspension strand tensioning because strand sag is difficult to
accurately measure. Shunt type dynamometers are more useful than tension
type dynamometers because the shunt type dynamometers can also be used
to test the tension of the strand after the strand as been installed.
Dynamometer measurements should be made in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. Tension readings should made as indicated
in Figure 1. The oscillation method for determining the strand tension
should not be used.

**5.5** The suspension strand should be tensioned using either a strand
puller attached to a winch line or by a block and tackle. The tension
should be slowly applied while the entire length of the strand being
installed is observed for evidence of snagging or failure to slip
through its temporary attachments at poles. The strand puller jaws
should be kept free of oil, grease, etc. to prevent slippage.

**5.6** The strand should be anchored at a deadend pole before the first
section of strand is tensioned and terminated by the use of boltless guy
clamps. Successive pulls should be made from the end of the first pull.
If there is a possibility that the strand and cable may be extended
beyond a deadend pole, a 3 ft (1 m) tail of suspension strand should be
left beyond the deadend pole to allow for extension of the strand using
a strand sleeve. A 6.0 in. (152 mm) suspension strand tail should be
left at all other locations. The ends of the suspension strand tails
should be secured using either stainless lashing wire wrapped around the
strand or by guy wire clips. Guy wire clips are available in sizes to
fit 6M, 10M, and 16M EHS suspension strands.

**5.7** Dampers to protect the suspension strand from fatigue failure
should be used when the cable is not immediately installed. For this
purpose a piece of bridle wire may be installed along the top of the
suspension clamp and wrapped around the strand extending 2 ft (607 mm)
in both directions with the ends of the bridle wire sealed. Other
methods of protecting the strand from fatigue failure may be used if
allowed by the borrower.

**6. CABLE INSTALLATION AND LASHING**

**6.1** Direct lashing of filled copper or fiber optic cables to
suspension strands should be accomplished by either the moving reel or
stationary reel method.

**6.2** The moving reel method consists of a cable reel trailer and a
towing vehicle. This method is preferred over the stationary reel method
because of its faster installation time. This method should be used when
the terrain along the side of the pole line on which the cable is to be
installed is free of obstructions such as trees, guys, etc., which would
prevent raising the cable to the strand. When using this method the
pulling tension and bending radius of filled fiber optic cables should
be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. If not
specified by the fiber optic cable manufacturer, the maximum pulling
tension should not exceed 600 lbf (2,669 N) and minimum bending radius
should not be less than 20 times the outside diameter of the cable. Also
when using this method, the bending radius of filled copper cables
should be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. If not
specified by the copper cable manufacturer, the minimum bending radius
should not be less than 10 times the outside cable diameter. Figure 2
depicts the moving reel method of installation.

**6.3** The stationary reel method, which is depicted in Figure 3,
consists of a cable reel, a suitable device for supporting the cable
reel, and rollers attached to the strand to support the cable during the
installation. When using the stationary reel method the pulling tension
and bending radius of filled fiber optic cables and the bending radius
of filled copper cables should be in accordance with Paragraph 6.2.
Rollers used in the stationary reel method should be installed on the
strand at various spacings depending on the weight of the cable. The
roller spacing versus the cable weight that should be used with the
stationary reel method is given in Table 7. Rollers should also be
installed at all bends in excess of 45 degrees from normal.

+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

**6.4** The cable should be pulled over the rollers in the stationary
reel method using either a winch line, wire rope approximately 0.25 in.
(6.4 mm) in diameter, or manila rope approximately 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) in
diameter.

**6.5** Because filled fiber optic cables are typically manufactured and
installed in longer lengths than filled copper cables, special
consideration should be given to reel placement to eliminate the need of
figure-eighting the cable and a series of mid-assist pulls for both the
moving and stationary reel installation methods.

**6.6** Lashing machines are manufactured in several sizes. The size of
the lashing machine used on the construction project should be based on
the outside diameter of the cable to be installed on the project. The
lashing machine should wrap the lashing wire around the cable and
suspension strand in the counterclockwise direction. Where grades in
construction are encountered, the lashing of the cable to the strand
should be performed in the downhill direction.

**6.7** Stainless steel lashing wire should be used to lash cables to
the suspension strand on aerial plant construction projects. The
diameter of the lashing wire used on the construction project should be
based on the outside diameter and weight of the cable to be installed
and the size of the lashing machine.

**6.8** Two types of lashing wire clamps are necessary in lashing cables
to strands. The first type is a temporary clamp having a handle for
opening and closing the clamp jaws. The second type is known as the
permanent clamp. Temporary clamps are removed after the permanent clamps
are installed. Guide drawings in RUS Bulletin 345-153 (RUS Form 515f)
show how lashing wires are clamped in various situations. Lashing wire
should be clamped at each side of each utility pole.

**6.9** Lashing wires should be spliced using stainless steel
compression sleeves for the appropriate sizes.

**6.10** When filled copper or fiber optic cables are lashed at
temperatures below 30°F (-1.1°C), the cables should be tensioned more
than is usual at higher temperatures. This should prevent bowing in hot
weather by causing cables to be lashed snugly against the strand.

**6.11** When required because of construction constraints, etc., two
filled copper or fiber optic cables may be lashed to the same suspension
strand or a new filled copper or fiber optic cable may be lashed over an
existing cable to the same strand. The combined diameters of the two
cables can not exceed the diameter for which the lashing machine was
designed.

**6.12** In order to promote firm lashing when lashing two filled copper
or fiber optic cables to the same strand, the diameter of first cable
should not be more than twice the diameter of the second cable.

**6.13** If the diameter of a filled copper cable or of two filled
copper cables exceeds 2.0 in. (51 mm), two nuts should be placed between
the suspension clamp and washer to provide clearance between the pole
and cables.

**6.14** Before lashing new filled copper or fiber optic cable to an
existing cable on the same strand, the existing lashing wire should be
examined for corrosion, pitting, breakage, sharp points or edges, etc.
which could damage the new cable during installation. If the existing
lashing wire is found to be severely corroded or pitted, broken, or
containing sharp points

or edges, the existing lashing wire should be removed before
installation of the new cable. However, it is generally not necessary to
remove the existing lashing wire.

**7. SELF-SUPPORTING, FILLED, FIBER OPTIC CABLE INSTALLATION**

**7.1** Installation of self-supporting, filled, fiber optic cables
should begin only after the guying of utility poles has been completed
in a section of line.

**7.2** Self-supporting, filled, fiber optic cables should be installed
using the moving reel method whenever possible. The cable should be
placed in stringing rollers on the poles where it should remain during
the remainder of the placing and tensioning operations. When using this
installation method the maximum pulling tension and minimum bend radius
of the self-supporting, filled, fiber optic cable should not exceed the
manufacturer's recommendations.

**7.3** Where it is necessary, because of physical obstructions, to
install self-supporting, filled, fiber optic cables using the stationary
reel method, cables should be strung through rollers under a sufficient
amount of tension to avoid excessive bending and to prevent cables from
contacting the ground or obstructions between poles. The rollers should
be spaced as indicated in Table 7 of Paragraph 6.3. When using this
installation method the maximum pulling tension and minimum bend radius
of the self-supporting, filled fiber optic cable should not exceed the
manufacturer's recommendations. Care should be exercised to prevent
continuous spiraling occurring in self-supporting, filled fiber optic
cables when installed using the stationary reel method. Since the cable
is spiraled by hand from alternate poles after the cable has been
tensioned, any existing spirals in the cable would be increased in one
span and removed in the adjacent span. It would then be very difficult
to obtain a uniform number of spirals in every span.

**7.4** Self-supporting, filled, fiber optic cables should be tensioned
with the aid of series dynamometers. The cable should be temporarily
supported at each pole in rollers until after the cable has been
tensioned and the tensioned equalized in all spans of the section being
tensioned. Tension should be applied slowly while the entire length of
cable being installed is observed for evidence of snagging or failure to
move freely through its temporary supports at the poles.

**7.5** The initial stringing tension for self-supporting, filled, fiber
optic cables will depend on the size of its support strand, the size of
cable core, the NESC storm loading district for the construction
project, the maximum permissible span length, temperature at the time of
tensioning, and the cable manufacturer's recommendations.

**7.6** When tensioning self-supporting, filled, fiber optic cables, the
insulation over the support strand should not be damaged. Tensioning by
means of grips placed over the insulated support strand is the preferred
method, provided that the tensioning can be accomplished without
rupturing the insulation.

**7.7** The initial sags and tensions for self-supporting, filled, fiber
optic cables installed at various span lengths and temperatures in the
three NESC storm loading districts should be obtained from the fiber
optic cable manufacturer.

**8. SAG AND TENSION OF INSTALLED FILLED CABLES**

**8.1** The sag and tension in a strand and a filled copper or fiber
optic cable after their installation depends on the installation
temperature, strand size, cable weight on a per foot basis, and the span
length. The above information is known as the "initial" cable sag and
tension.

**8.2** The initial sags and tensions for filled copper cables installed
on 6M, 10M, and 16M EHS suspension strands at various span lengths and
temperatures are given in Tables 8 through 50.

cables at locations where the required clearance between the
telecommunications cable and power cable can not maintained.

**11.2** In areas where lashed aerial filled copper or fiber optic
cables are subjected to high winds, cables should be spiraled around the
suspension strand to minimize cable dancing. The spiraling of the cable
around the suspension strand represents an irregular configuration of
cable and strand to the wind pressure thereby tending to break up
movement of cable and reduce dancing.

**11.3** In areas where self-supporting, filled fiber optic cables are
subjected to high winds, cables should be spiraled around the integrated
suspension strand to minimize cable dancing. The spiraling of the cable
around the integrated suspension strand represents an irregular
configuration of cable and strand to the wind pressure thereby tending
to break up movement of cable and reduce dancing.

**11.4** The spiraling of the cable around the suspension strand to
minimize cable dancing should be performed as indicated on Guide Drawing
250 for lashed filled copper and fiber optic cables and Guide Drawing
250-1 for self-supporting, filled fiber optic cable of RUS Bulletin
345-153 (RUS Form 515f).

**11.5** The spiraling operation should be performed at alternate poles
throughout the length of the affected section of the cable lead.
Performing the spiraling operation at alternate pole locations results
in the spiraling of two adjacent spans at the same time. The presence of
a straight splice in the affected section of cable lead should not
affect the spiraling operation.

**11.6** Prior to spiraling of lashed cable, the lashing wire clamps
should be temporarily loosened to eliminate tightening of the lashing
wire during the spiraling operation. After spiraling, the lashing wire
should be readjusted and reclamped.

**11.7** The spiraling operation may be performed at poles where strand
mounted terminals are installed provided that care is exercised to
prevent damage to the terminal stub and splice.

**11.8** In areas where high winds prevail and light weight cable is
constructed on unusually long spans, addition spiraling of the cable may
be required to obtain satisfactory results. The number of additional
twists at these locations should be indicated on the construction
drawings.

**12. HANDLING AND CARE OF MATERIALS DURING CONSTRUCTION**

**12.1** Extreme care should be exercised in handling materials during
the construction process. The suspension strand should be handled and
stored in such a manner as to prevent accelerated corrosion or physical
damaged to the suspension strand.

**12.2** Care should be exercised to prevent damage to exposed cables
during the construction period. Construction work should be scheduled to
keep such exposure to minimum.

**12.3** Cables should be installed in aerial splice cases, ready-access
cases, and pole mounted terminals as soon as practicable. The
installation work should be completed as soon as practicable after the
cables have been installed.

**13. REPAIR OF CABLES DAMAGED DURING CONSTRUCTION**

**13.1** Minor damage to the outer jackets, where the shields or armors
of the cables have not been bent, abraded, or penetrated should be
repaired in accordance with Bulletin 1753F-401(PC-2), RUS Standard for
Splicing Copper and Fiber Optic Cables.

**13.2** Where shields or armors have penetrated the outer jackets of
cables, the damaged sections should be enclosed in aerial splice cases.
The outer jackets, shields, or armors of the damaged sections should be
removed as though preparing for splicing. The shields or armors should
then be bonded together. Damage to the copper conductors or their
insulations or optical fibers or their buffer tubes should be repaired
in accordance with Bulletin 1753F-401(PC-2), RUS Standard for Splicing
Copper and Fiber Optic Cables.

**13.3** Cables found to be damaged after installation should be
repaired. If the damage is considered minor, the damage should be
repaired in accordance with Bulletin 1753F-401(PC-2), RUS Standard for
Splicing Copper and Fiber Optic Cables. If the damage is considered
major, the damage should be repaired either by replacing the damaged
sections with new cables spliced to the undamaged sections of the cable
or repaired in accordance with the method specified in the contract.

**13.4** All aerial splice cases added because of repairs should be
shown on the construction drawings. However, they should not be included
in the final inventory for compensation purposes as specified by the RUS
515 Contract and RUS Bulletin 345-153 (RUS Form 515f).

**14. PREPARATION FOR SPLICING OR TERMINATION**

**14.1** Aerial filled copper cables should be spliced in accordance
with Bulletin 1753F-401(PC-2), RUS Standard for Splicing Copper and
Fiber Optic Cables and enclosed in RUS accepted or technically accepted
aerial splice cases, ready-access cases, or pole mount terminals.

**14.2** Aerial filled fiber optic or self-supporting fiber optic cables
should be spliced in accordance with Bulletin 1753F-401(PC-2), RUS
Standard for Splicing Copper and Fiber Optic Cables and enclosed in RUS
accepted or technically accepted filled fiber optic splice cases.

**14.3** RUS accepted or technically accepted filled terminal blocks
should only be used in ready-access cases and pole mount terminals.

**15. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR FILLED CABLES IN COLD WEATHER**

**15.1** Flexibility of filled copper or fiber optic cables should not
be a problem at normal operating temperatures. However, flexibility may
be affected when cables are exposed to lower temperatures. The
flexibility of filled copper or fiber optic cables could be sharply
reduced at temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C). At temperatures below 40°F
(4.4°C), almost twice the force may be needed to bend the filled copper
or fiber optic cables. Filled copper or fiber optic cables should be
inspected each morning to determine if the cables are flexible enough
for aerial placement when night time temperatures drop below 30°F

(-1.1°C). When filled copper or fiber optic cables have been stored
outdoors and subjected to cold nights, considerable time may be lost
each morning waiting for the cables to warm up even though the daytime
temperature may be above 40°F (4.4°C). During the spring and fall of the
year, the filled copper or fiber optic cables may be stored in heated
warehouses prior to placement in the air. This storage in heated
warehouses allows the filled copper or fiber optic cables to be
transported to the project site as needed and installed while the cables
are still flexible.

**15.2** Some filling compounds used in the cores of filled copper
cables may be stiff as the temperature decreases making it difficult to
separate the cable pairs. In general, filled copper cables installations
below 40°F (4.4°C) could be slow, difficult, and possibly even halted
unless special precautions are taken to offset the effects of the lower
temperatures.

**15.3** Filling compounds used in loose tube buffers of filled fiber
optic cables should not become stiff as the temperature decreases. This
should allow the optical fibers to be easily separated at low
temperatures.

**15.4** As mentioned in Paragraph 15.2, the copper pairs may be
difficult to separate as the temperature decreases. At temperatures as
low as 20°F (-6.7°C), the copper pairs may be separated by flexing the
free ends of the cable cores and separating a few pairs at a time. It is
also interesting to note that filling compounds at a temperature of 20°F
(-6.7°C) are more user friendly to work with than at elevated
temperatures. Consequently, the copper cable pairs may be spliced
without wiping the pairs free of filling compound.

**16. ASSEMBLY UNITS**

**16.1** Detailed descriptions of all standard aerial plant assembly
units are given in RUS Bulletin 345-153, Specifications and Drawings for
Construction of Pole Line, Aerial Cables and Wires (RUS Form 515f).

**16.2** Where standard aerial plant assembly units are insufficient to
provide for unique aerial plant construction requirements, detailed
"nonstandard assembly units" should be created to meet those
requirements. The aerial plant nonstandard assembly units should be
approved by RUS prior to the bidding of the project. "Nonstandard
assembly units" should be kept to the absolute minimum needed for the
project.

**17. NUMBERING AND ACCEPTANCE TESTING**

**17.1** The first, fifth, tap, breakdown, and end poles installed along
the construction route should be marked with route letters, pole
numbers, and, when required, the load point numbers (When loaded lines
are determined by RUS to be economically feasible and the overall system
design complies with the Modernization Plan \[7 CFR 1751, Subpart B\]).

**17.2** In lieu of Paragraph 17.1, every pole along the construction
route may be marked with route letters, pole numbers, and, when
required, load point numbers (When loaded lines are determined by RUS to
be economically feasible and the overall system design complies with the
Modernization Plan \[7 CFR 1751, Subpart B\]) when requested by the RUS
borrower.

**17.3** After installation, aerial copper cables should be tested in
accordance with RUS Bulletin 345-63, RUS Standard for Acceptance Tests
and Measurements of Telephone Plant (PC-4) and the RUS Form 515
Contract.

**17.4** After installation, aerial fiber optic cables should be tested
in accordance with the procedures listed in the contract.
