In OSP, which pole heights are most commonly used?

The most commonly used pole heights in Outside Plant (OSP) applications are typically associated with the practical needs of overhead installations and the requirements for adequate clearance and support for aerial cables. In this context, pole heights of 6 meters and 10 meters are optimal for a variety of scenarios, including urban and suburban environments where utility access and safety are prioritized.

Poles of these heights provide sufficient elevation for clearances above roads, sidewalks, and other infrastructure, while still being manageable for installation and maintenance. The choice of 6 meters and 10 meters reflects a balance between functionality and cost-effectiveness, making them standard options in the industry for supporting telecommunications and electrical cables.

Other height options, while potentially suitable in specific circumstances, often do not match the versatility and practicality of the 6 meter and 10 meter poles for general OSP applications.
