Explore the Robust ADSS Fiber Optic Cable for Aerial and Power Line Applications
An all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) fiber optic cable is designed to be completely non-metallic, making it ideal for environments sensitive to metallic components, such as alongside power lines or within power stations. Its small diameter and lightweight construction enhance its suitability for self-supporting aerial installations, offering a reliable solution for long-distance communications.
Description
The ADSS fiber optic cable is engineered as an all-dielectric self-supporting structure, perfect for installations that require non-metallic properties. Manufactured by HOC, these cables come in various specifications tailored to meet the real site conditions of communication lines.
Applications
Primarily used in FTTH (Fiber to the Home) networks, the cable supports aerial self-supporting structures, making it versatile for both urban and rural implementations.
Features
- Central strength member made from FRP ensuring a non-metallic structure.
- Water-blocking material inside the cable prevents moisture ingress.
- Fibers are protected by loose tubes filled with a fiber jelly compound.
- Ripcord included for easy stripping and fast deployment.
- Durable outer sheath made of PE, MDPE, and HDPE, enhancing environmental and mechanical performance.
- Customizable span lengths of 80 meters and 120 meters, with other options available upon request.
