Product Detail

Description:

The ADSS fiber optic cable (All Dielectric Self Supporting cable) is a type of aerial fiber cable designed for installation on power lines and utility poles without the need for additional support structures. Its all-dielectric (non-metallic) construction makes it safe for high-voltage environments and immune to electromagnetic interference.

With its self-supporting design, ADSS cable reduces installation cost and complexity, making it an ideal solution for modern telecom and power utility networks.

Key Features of ADSS Cable

All-dielectric design – immune to lightning and electromagnetic interference
Self-supporting structure – no additional support cable required
High tensile strength – withstands wind, ice, and mechanical stress
UV and weather resistant – suitable for harsh outdoor environments
Low sag and lightweight – reduces load on poles
Long lifespan and low maintenance cost

Types of ADSS Cable

1. Central Tube ADSS

Compact and cost-effective
Suitable for short spans (50–150m)
Ideal for rural FTTH networks

2. Stranded (Layered) ADSS

High fiber count (up to 144 cores+)
Suitable for long spans (150–300m)
Used in backbone networks

Application:

ADSS cables are widely used in:

Power transmission lines (110kV–500kV)
Telecom aerial networks
FTTH feeder networks
Smart grid communication systems
Railway and highway communication

They are especially valuable in environments where metal cables are unsafe or impractical.

Advantages of ADSS Cable

Compared with traditional aerial cables:

No need for messenger wire → lower installation cost
Safe for high-voltage areas
Faster deployment
Reduced maintenance
High bandwidth and long-distance transmission

ADSS cables can support long spans and high fiber counts, making them suitable for large-scale network deployment.

FAQ

What does ADSS stand for?

ADSS stands for All Dielectric Self Supporting fiber optic cable.

Where is ADSS cable used?

It is mainly used in aerial installations on power lines and telecom networks.

What is the advantage of ADSS cable?

It does not require a messenger wire and is safe for high-voltage environments.

What is the difference between ADSS and OPGW?

ADSS is non-metallic and installed externally, while OPGW contains metal and is installed inside power lines.
