ADSS Fiber Optic Cable: Lightweight and Non-Conductive for Aerial Deployments

ADSS Fiber Optic Cable

ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cable is specifically designed for aerial installations, offering a lightweight and non-conductive solution ideal for power lines and other aerial deployments. Its small diameter and light weight facilitate easy handling and installation, while its non-metallic construction ensures safety and reliability in high-voltage environments.

Description

Standard ADSS aerial fiber optic cable provides excellent tensile strength and self-supporting capabilities. Its non-conductive nature allows for installation on newly erected communication lines or existing power line systems. Cable span is a critical consideration for aerial installations, and the cable materials and specifications will vary depending on the required span. Contact our experts for a comprehensive plan tailored to your specific site requirements.

Applications

ADSS cable is commonly used in:

  • FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) networks
  • Aerial self-supporting constructions
  • Power line and utility pole deployments

Features

  • Aramid yarn and FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) strength members for a non-metallic, high-strength structure.
  • Non-conductive materials for safe and easy installation near power lines.
  • Loose tube design with fiber jelly compound for superior fiber protection.
  • Rip cord for easy stripping and cable access during splicing.
  • Outer sheath options of PE, MDPE, and HDPE for excellent environmental and mechanical performance.
  • Standard spans of 80 meters and 120 meters available, with custom spans also possible.
  • Small diameter and lightweight construction for easy handling and cost-effective deployment.
  • Excellent resistance to environmental factors such as UV radiation, temperature variations, and moisture.
