Abstract
A structure for directly leading down the optical unit (OU) from the OPPC (optical phase conductor) cable, by the OU leading-down connector (2) invented recently, is used for separating the plastic-pipe OU from the OPPC cable installed on the tower, avoiding the splicing of fibers on the tower of the old technique. Therefore it is possible to assemble the OPPC cable (1), the OU leading-down connector (2), the preformed armor rod assembly (3), the first link fitting (4), the residual cable rack (5), the second link fitting (6), the insulator string (7) on the ground all together. Then the whole assemble can be erected on to the tower. Just as the conventional overhead power line construction. So it is simple and saving in work.
