The role of steel wires in aerial optical cables

A steel messenger is a stranded steel cable that acts lashing wire. The cable is lashed with aluminum- or steel-wire to a separate,pre-installed, messenger wire. Installed on wooden, steel or concrete poles. It keeps aerial cables firmly in place and reduces the risk of cable breaks and service interruptions. Molybdenum-containing stainless steel lashing wire is used particularly in coastal areas to avoid premature corrosion. Our telecom wire, including steel messenger wire, meets the strict specifications set by ASTM International, a global leader in establishing material standards to ensure consistent performance.
