ADSS Cable Long Span Aerial Self Supporting for FTTH Network

ADSS Fiber Optic Cable for Utility Applications

Hone ADSS cable is specifically designed for use in electrical utilities. It is installed alongside existing overhead transmission lines, sharing the same support structures as electrical cables. This eliminates the need for separate cable infrastructure, reducing deployment costs and time.

Overview

ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable is designed for aerial installation without requiring additional support or messenger wires. Its lightweight construction and aramid yarn protection enable it to be self-supporting between poles or towers. It offers a cost-effective alternative to OPGW cables, especially for utility applications.

The cable consists of 250µm optical fibers housed within water-resistant tubes filled with a compound. These tubes, along with fillers, are stranded around a non-metallic central strength member (FRP). A layer of stranded aramid yarn is placed between the cable core and the outer polyethylene (PE) or anti-tracking (AT) sheath. For added protection, some ADSS cables utilize a double sheath, with an inner PE sheath between the cable core and the aramid yarn.

Applications

Hone ADSS cable is primarily used for:

• Communication medium in electrical utilities
