Tangent ADSS Suspension Clamp for Short Span Deployments
The Tangent ADSS Suspension Clamp is a crucial component for deploying Aerial Self-Supporting (ADSS) fiber optic cable in short-span applications, typically under 100 meters. This clamp ensures secure and reliable cable installation on poles, protecting the delicate optical fibers while withstanding environmental stressors. Its design prioritizes ease of installation and long-term performance, making it a cost-effective solution for FTTH and other deployments.
Overview
ADSS suspension clamps are essential for securing ADSS fiber optic cables to poles. The tangent suspension clamp, designed for spans less than 100 meters, typically consists of a rubber insert, an aluminum alloy housing, and an anchor shackle or bolts. Installation on the pole is usually facilitated with a stainless steel belt. For longer spans, other ADSS suspension solutions, such as ring-type or single-layer suspension clamps, are more appropriate.
Applications
The Tangent ADSS Suspension Clamp finds its primary applications in:
- FTTH (Fiber to the Home) deployments
- General ADSS cable installations for short spans
Features
- Preformed rods and clamp simplify installation.
- Rubber insert provides crucial protection for the ADSS fiber optic cable.
- High-quality aluminum alloy construction enhances mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
- Evenly distributed stress minimizes cable damage and eliminates concentrated stress points.
- Increased rigidity at the installation point enhances ADSS cable protection.
- Double-layer structure improves dynamic stress bearing capacity.
- Large contact area with the fiber optic cable ensures secure holding.
- Flexible rubber clamps enhance self-damping characteristics.
- Flat surface and round end design increase corona discharge voltage and reduce power loss.
- Convenient installation and maintenance-free operation.
