ADSS Fiber Optic Cable: The Ideal Solution for Aerial Installations
The All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) fiber optic cable is a state-of-the-art solution designed for aerial installations in power lines and FTTH networks. Its lightweight, small diameter, and non-conductive materials make it ideal for deployment in challenging environments, ensuring both safety and efficiency.
Description
The ADSS fiber optic cable features an all-dielectric structure with no metallic components, making it non-conductive and highly suitable for use in power lines. It is designed to provide exceptional tension resistance and self-supporting capabilities, enabling easy installation on new or existing infrastructure. The outer sheath material—Polyethylene (PE), MDPE, or HDPE—ensures excellent environmental and mechanical performance.
Applications
- FTTH optical networks
- Aerial self-supporting constructions
Features
- Non-conductive design ensures safe installation in high-voltage environments.
- Aramid yarn and Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) strength members provide superior tensile strength.
- Loose tube with fiber jelly compound protects the fibers from external factors.
- Rip cord facilitates easy stripping and construction.
- Outer sheath options ensure durability in various environmental conditions.
- Standard spans of 80 meters and 120 meters, with customization available for specific needs.
