Which method is NOT used for outside plant cabling installation?

• A. Aerial Suspension
• B. Direct Burial
• C. Hiring a Third Party
• D. Pulling During Underground Construction In Conduit

Answer: (C)

Outside plant cabling installation is defined by the physical methods used to place the cable. Aerial suspension involves stringing cables between poles and securing them in place. Direct burial means burying the cable directly in the ground. Pulling through conduit during underground construction involves guiding the cable through installed ducts or conduits as part of underground work. Hiring a third party, on the other hand, isn’t a method of placing the cable itself—it’s about who performs the work, not how the installation is physically done. You could have a third party carry out any of the real installation methods, but that does not define a method of installation. So this option is not a method of outside plant cabling installation.
