All-Dielectric Self-Supporting Aerial Standard ADSS Fiber Optic Cable

All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) Fiber Optic Cable is a durable aerial cable designed for high-voltage and telecom networks. Its dielectric construction eliminates electrical interference, while its high tensile strength ensures stability in harsh conditions. With UV resistance and easy installation, ADSS is ideal for long-span, self-supporting fiber deployments without additional support structures.

1. Structure & Design:

• Composed entirely of dielectric materials, eliminating the need for metallic components.
• Features a strong central strength member, typically FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic), for enhanced durability.
• Buffer tubes filled with water-blocking gel protect the optical fibers from moisture and mechanical stress.
• Aramid yarn or high-strength glass fiber reinforcement ensures superior tensile strength for self-supporting aerial installations.
• Outer sheath made of UV-resistant and weatherproof material, suitable for various environmental conditions.

Applications

• Ideal for aerial fiber deployment along power lines, telecom networks, and railway communication systems.
• Suitable for long-distance and urban backbone networks requiring high-strength and weather-resistant cabling.
• Used in environments where electrical conductivity must be avoided, such as high-voltage transmission corridors.

Advantages

• Self-Supporting Design: Eliminates the need for additional messenger wire, reducing installation costs.
• High Tensile Strength: Withstands wind loads, ice accumulation, and other environmental stressors.
• Dielectric Construction: Provides excellent electrical insulation, making it safe for power line installations.
• Weather & UV Resistance: Ensures long-term reliability in extreme weather conditions.
• Lightweight & Flexible: Simplifies handling and installation, reducing deployment time and labor costs.

FAQs

1. What is the maximum span length for ADSS fiber optic cable?

   • The maximum span length depends on factors such as fiber count, wind speed, and ice load. Typically, ADSS cables support spans ranging from 50m to over 1,000m with the right tensile strength design.

2. Can ADSS cables be installed near high-voltage power lines?

   • Yes, ADSS cables are designed for safe installation near power lines because they are made of all-dielectric materials, preventing electrical interference and conduction.

3. Is additional support hardware needed for ADSS installation?

   • No, ADSS cables are self-supporting and do not require messenger wires. However, specialized tension clamps, suspension fittings, and dead-end hardware are used for secure installation.

4. How does ADSS fiber withstand harsh weather conditions?

   • ADSS cables feature UV-resistant, water-blocking, and high-strength protective layers to endure extreme temperatures, heavy rain, snow, and strong winds.

5. What is the lifespan of an ADSS fiber optic cable?

   • ADSS cables are designed for a lifespan of 25+ years, depending on environmental conditions and proper installation practices.
