Minimum separation between overhead FTTP lines and power
Hi there, I am looking at getting FTTP installed, but have been having some issues.
Can anyone tell me the minimum separation required between power lines and the fibre cables? The cable run is around 30m and crosses a road. I believe the cables are 240v as they feed directly into houses on my street.
I am aware they need to be 5.9m above the road.
Thanks

That's a question for Openreach, not BT.

Remember that fibre does not suffer from the the electromagnetic interference that copper cable does (eg. Cat 5/6 close to 240v ) if that is why you ask.

For LV the clearance is 200mm for Concentric Neutral Cables and 600mm for ABC & Single Wires.
