Rule 87.4-C3
87.4-C3) Attached To
Poles: On poles which carry no supply conductors and no crossarms,
communication cables or messengers attached to the sides of poles may be placed
in any position within 3 feet of the top of the pole pro- vided metal-sheathed
cables or messengers are separated from open wire conductors in this section of
the pole by a vertical distance of not less than 12 inches.
On poles which carry no supply conductors (except supply
service drop clearance attachments) and which support communication conductors
on crossarms, messengers and cables may be attached to surface of pole between
crossarms or less than 2 feet below the conductors on the lowest crossarms,
provided such messengers or cables are placed on one side of pole only and any
conductor on the opposite side of the pole, less than 36 inches vertically from
such messenger and cable, shall be not less than 24 inches (if an exchange
conductor) or not less than 18 inches (if a toll conductor) horizontally from
such messenger or cable (see .App. G, Fig. 85).
On poles which carry no supply conductors (except supply
service drop clearance attachments) and which support communication conductors
on crossarms, messengers and cables may be attached directly to opposite sides
of pole provided such attachments are not less than 2 feet below the lowest
level of communication conductors supported on a crossarm and provided that the
vertical separation between such messengers or cables and open wire conductors
in the same configuration shall be not less than 12 inches.
Cables or messengers
where attached to the surface of poles which support supply conductors,
shall be not less than 6 feet vertically below the level of supply conductors,
except that this minimum clearance of 6 feet may be reduced to not less than 4
feet below supply conductors of 0-750 volts provided a guard arm is placed
above the messenger and cable (or self-supporting cable) in accordance with the
provision of Rule 87.7-B (see Rule 20.9-D for guard arm definition). No cable
or messenger, where attached to surface of such a pole, shall be less than 2
feet below the lowest level of communication conductors on crossarms unless a
horizontal separation of not less than 30 inches is maintained between the
messenger or cable and the communication conductors on the opposite side of
pole.

84.4–D1 messengers and cables may be attached to surface of pole between

provided such messengers or cables are placed on one side of pole only and any
conductor on the opposite side of the pole, less than 36 inches vertically from
such messenger and cable, shall be not less than 24 inches (if an exchange
conductor) or not less than 18 inches (if a toll conductor) horizontally from
such messenger or cable (see .App. G, Fig. 85Fig. 84-2).
On poles which carry no supply conductors (except supply

Exception:
That this minimum clearance of 6 feet may
be reduced to not less than 4 feet below supply conductors of 0-750 volts
provided a guard arm is placed above the messenger and cable (or
self-supporting cable) in accordance with the provision of Rule 87.7-B (see

attached to the surface of such a pole, shall be less than 2 feet
below the lowest level of communication conductors on crossarms unless a minimum
horizontal separation of not less than 30 inches is maintained between
the messenger or cable and the communication conductors on the opposite side of

On poles where communication conductors are supported on
crossarms no supply conductors (except supply service drop clearance
attachments) are attached apply the provisions of Rule 84.4–D1 and Fig. 84-2.
Cables or messengers

shall be not less than 6 feet vertically below the level of supply conductors.
Exception: That this minimum clearance of 6 feet may be reduced to not less than 4 feet below supply conductors of 0-750 volts provided a guard arm is placed above the messenger and cable (or self-supporting cable) in accordance with the provision of Rule 87.7-B (see Rule 20.9-D for guard arm definition). No cable or messenger shall be, attached to the surface of such a pole, less than 2 feet below the lowest level of communication conductors on crossarms unless a minimum horizontal separation of 30 inches is maintained between the messenger or cable and the communication conductors on the opposite side of pole.
