Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the possibility and feasibility of constructing fiber-optic communication lines of railways using fiber-optic cable built into a lightning protection cable. The research work presents the results of a comparison of the cost of one kilometer of cable used today and the cable proposed as an alternative solution. The results of business correspondence with the manufacturer of cable products, as well as information available in the public domain on the Internet, are used as a source of information in the article. The expediency of changing the type of fiber-optic cable to a conductive one is substantiated, the economic effect based on reducing the cost and increasing the reliability of communication lines is shown. This solution allows increasing the technical and economic indicators of sections of electrified railways with alternating current due to the integration of the conductive sheath of the fiber-optic cable OPGW into the traction power supply system.
