CommScope Drop Cable - Manual (Page 19)

Attachment Examples for Aerial Installations
The top example shows a pretty
straightforward installation. The electric
meter is on the opposite side of the
building from the span, so attachment
near the the cold water tap is accept-
able.
The middle example shows that the
most direct route would trespass on
neighboring property. Therefore, the
drop should be run along the span
and then angle to the building, eventu-
ally running toward the meter and then
back to the point of entry. Be sure to
check mid-span; it is possible that there
may be a tap there because a pole
was there at one time.
The bottom example is a tough call.
It’s marginally shorter to attach near
the point of entry, run to the meter for
bonding purposes and double back to
the point of entry.
In all cases, check your local
code requirements and
system design specifications
for your prescribed
bonding requirements.
