Aerial insert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In a direct-buried or underground cable run, an aerial insert is a cable rise to a point above ground, followed by an overhead run, e.g. on poles, followed by a drop back into the ground. An aerial insert is used in places where it is not possible or practical to remain underground, such as might be encountered in crossing a deep ditch, canal, river, or subway line.
