COMMUNICA | Issue Five
A de-wrapping machine is deployed
to place ‘wrap’ fibre cable around the
earth wire at the top of the power line.
The same type of machine can also
unwrap the fibre cable once it’s no
longer needed. Each machine is
operated remotely by a fibre engineer
from the top of the pylon’s structure
and crawls along the wire to wrap and
unwrap the cable, suspended from the
cable above the landscape.
