Using the utility poles to link a building ?

[turboturnsmeon2]

Who do i contact to find out if i can use the utility poles to run a privately own fiber cable linking two building ?
I tried TATT but they dont know.

[hong kong phooey]

I believe the tall poles are owned by t &tec and other service provider pay some sort of lease.
best bet is talk to t&tec

to be brutally honest...go do your thing no body will do anything. where i live, a well known chaguanas businessman mounted his personal cameras onto T&TEC poles - facing the camera to watch his property.

jokes on him though when T&TEC comes to replace the poles or do any work they will simply break off the camera and dispose of it....


if the two buildings are on the same piece of land and on the same side...shouldnt be too hard..if the two buildings are like on different sides of the street and the cable has to cross the street...you may be in for some trouble.

*awaits a riveting tale from the St helena storyteller....

i have some cameras on a ttec pole....ttec has done work quite a few times and they dont interfere with it

people these days understand that yuh hadda do whatever to protect your property,even government workers

i used metal tie straps though, didnt screw anything into their pole

the fact that you used metal straps makes it right ???

there's a reason why T&TEC doesn't allow any sort of additional stuff on their poles.

lets jut say - for argument sake - one day the big a$$ transformer on the pole blow out...current soo high it catch the pole on fire...your camera catch up and the electrical wire becomes highly charged..this high electricity then feeds back into your house..promptly setting it on fire - again - all highly hypothetical.

what then..u go to T&TEC and complain "ay yuh thing bun dong meh house"

stuff that do go on their poles has to first get permission from them and also be of a certain standard of insulation material and installed a certain height and installed a certain manner so as to not interfere with their normal routine maintenance.

[Chimera]

Yea. None of that going to happen. Doh beat up

not beating up..just letting yuh kno theres a reason why stuff like this isnt done....
do so at your own risk.

[Chimera]

And there are ways to properly isolate the equipment. Standard when putting cctv equipment outdoors on heights. Dbu

[ronsin1]

Wouldn't it be less hassle to plant your own pole

[thatlife]

would a gigabit wireless solution work for you?
if so PM me

i've linked buildings up to 1/4 mile away
no downtime in 2yrs+

Dont the transformers carry fuses so if there is a fault on the lines the fuses blow due to the high current protecting the transformer and other equipment?
If for some reason a pole becomes energized the electricity should go to the earth along the path of least resistance. Provided the pole is metal and the cctv cam is hooked up most of the electricity will go to the ground via the pole. If its an old wooden pole...well...

[The_Honourable]

Yep that is what the fuses suppose to do but there are situations where fuses fail, especially if the electrical grid in the area hasn't been maintained or updated. Your electronics and appliances getting roasted leading to a fire.

[nervewrecker]

Or some idiot put in a way larger than recommended fuse.
