The aerial cable way operators in the mountains have increasing communication demands. In order to satisfy these needs in a cost-effective and environmental-friendly way, Brugg Telecom AG has developed and successfully tested a new generation of metallic fibre-optic aerial ropes. The rope is especially designed to meet the required very high tensile performance and crush resistance. The tests have shown that the newly developed rope can withstand very high lateral loads. During a long-term field-test the authors continuously monitored the attenuation of the optical signal, load and environmental conditions. The field-test has demonstrated the very good properties of the rope also in everyday use. Thanks to its excellent mechanical and environmental performance the rope is as well best suited in the field of extreme and hazardous applications.
