The standard utility pole in the United States is about 35 ft (10 m) tall and is buried about 6 ft (2 m) in the ground. In order to meet clearance regulations, poles can, however, reach heights of at least 120 feet (40 meters). They are typically spaced about 125 ft (40 m) apart in urban areas, or about 300 ft (100 m) in rural areas, but distances vary widely based on terrain. A power pole diagram is a visual representation of the structure and components of a power pole, which is an essential part of electrical distribution systems.

Lashing has been used as a means of installing since the process was developed by in the late 1940s. This process typically involves lashing one or more copper telephone cable, co-ax cable TV cable or fibre-optic cable to a pre-installed steel messenger wire using a steel lashing wire and a device called a 'spinner' or 'lasher'. OPAC cables can be installed on existing ground wires or phase conductors, even OPGW or OPCC to expand communications capacity. An optical fiber composite overhead ground wire (OPGW) is a new type of ground cable used in the high-voltage power transmission system that serves as both a conventional overhead ground cable and a communication optical cable. Because aerial cables are exposed to harsh outdoor environments and extreme weather conditions, their materials must be strong and durable.
