As a self-supporting aerial fiber cable, figure 8 fiber optic cable is a kind of fiber optic cable that is suitable for long-distance communication and inter-office communication. With steel stranded wire as the self-supporting part of the fiber optic cable, it can meet the very high tensile strength during installation and operation.
Figure 8 shape and steel wire messenger also save the installation costs. This cable is a small size figure 8 fiber optic cable. With advantages of light, flexible and easy to construction, it’s also one of the alternative cable for FTTH cabling network.

The figure-8 telecommunications cables are self-supporting cables. They represent a cost-effective and easy to install overhead solution, while also offering stable performances in a large range of operating temperatures. These cables are built with a messenger (steel or dielectric) and an optical fiber or copper cable core, both of them protected by a sheath forming a Figure 8 cross-section. The upper part of the figure 8 cable that serves as messenger wire is designed to withstand mechanical and environmental loads to which the cable will be exposed once installed (frost, snow, wind, …).
We define the allowable tensile force depending on the span and the temperature range in which the cable can be used. This tensile force can register lower values for the span rolled out between the last pole and the anchoring point placed outside the building to be connected. Thus, telecom installers must pay a special attention to this one in order to guarantee the respect of the minimum bend radius during the deployment of fiber optic networks.
