Abstract :
The new aerial self-supporting optical cables have been developed. This cables have the excellent structure for the mid span access operation from the installed cable on the aerial environment. New aerial SZ-slotted rod cables including 4-fiber ribbons have been designed, manufactured, and tested. The new cable indicated the stable characteristics in mechanical tests and environmental tests
