Although many telecom systems are now being built, a tremendous amount of overhead plant is still in use. Overhead poles are subject to vertical and horizontal forces including weight of cables and other equipment. Vertical forces are the unbalanced component of wire tension at curves and corners, the pull of service drops, and the horizontal component of weight if the pole is not vertical. Wood poles have long been used for overhead distribution because of abundance of material, ease of handling and cost. The strength of a wood pole must be sufficient to withstand abnormal loads as well, such as ice and wind pressure. Pole features can have street lights, assemblies, and other attachments associated with them.", "summary": "", "title": "Pole", "tags": [], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "", "licenseInfo": "" }
