At one hand their advantages for transmission of information are well-known. On the other hand their mechanical properties make them well suited for installation in overhead lines: They are light weight, they can be attached to the conductor and they can easily be installed in existing towers. From the point of view of the fitting-manufacturer there is little difference between metallic armoured optical cables and conventional selfsupporting aerial cables. However, the optical fibre's sensitivity to radial stresses must be taken into account. For non-metallic optical cables special criteria, for example the creep of the cable sheath must be considered. The following explanations give a survey on the state-of-the-art fittings for optical fibre aerial cables.
