The authors of the article examine the problem of electrothermal degradation of fiber optical communication lines arranged on the high-voltage power lines pylons. The possible methods of reduction of high-voltage line electric field influence on fiber optical communication lines were studied. There is also the method of possible calculation and choice of optimal suspension place for fiber optical cable on a high-voltage line pylon. This method can be applied for one of the high-voltage line masses disposition cases.
