OverviewTechnologyEtymologyHistoryLashed cableUsesAlternativesIn the media

There are three basic technology requirements for a wrapped cable system – a fibre optic cable with suitable performance for installation on an overhead power-line; a device for carrying out the wrapping operation (wrapping equipment) and the appropriate hardware to stabilise and complete the installation. Wrapped fibre-optic cable must provide the following characteristics:
