Abstract
In a method of stringing an overhead conductor incorporating an optical fibre ribbon, at least two lengths of overhead conductor, each having a bore within and extending along the length of the conductor, are electrically and mechanically connected end to end in such a way that the bores of interconnected conductor lengths are smoothly continuous and the conductor consisting of the interconnected conductor lengths is strung between a plurality of towers. After the conductor has been strung, the optical fibre ribbon is introduced into and propelled along the bore of the suspended conductor by fluid drag of a gaseous medium.
