Abstract

See full text

An above-ground optical fiber cable installation consists of an optical fiber cable that is laid along an edge of a street (such as along a curb), and then covered with an adhesive overcoat material, such as a fast-curing epoxy and/or concrete repair/resurface compounds. The adhesive overcoat initially functions to affix the optical fiber cable to the street, and as it cures provides a protective encapsulation for the installed cable. The hard shell prevents exposure of the optical fiber cable to the environment and reduces the potential for damage from equipment that might otherwise cut through the cable. This type of cable installation is useful for situations that require rapid deployment, and avoids the need for creating either underground or aerial pathways.
