Abstract
A non-metallic self-supporting aerial optical cable is comprised of a suspension wire and optical cable which are made of non-metallic material and have non-metallic sheaths. The optical cable and suspension wire are maintained substantially parallel by a number of spaced apart connecting members. The optical cable is allowed to sag between the connecting members in order to withstand tensile forces which result from wind, snow and the like.
