Catenary system

A catenary system is a method of suspending cables or wires, such as power lines or telephone cables, using a chain-like curve called a catenary. When a flexible cable is hung between two points under its own weight, it naturally forms this shape, which distributes tension evenly. This design helps the cable withstand environmental forces like wind and gravity, ensuring stability and durability. The catenary curve is mathematically ideal for supporting long spans with minimal material stress, making it an efficient choice for overhead wiring systems.
