ADSS fiber optic cable can be installed without shutting off the power. • Light weight and small diameter reducing the load caused by ice and wind and the load on towers and back-props. • The design life span is 30 years. • Good performance of tensile strength and temperature for outdoor using.   

Product Description

Key Specifications & Features
  • The Outdoor ADSS fiber optic cable is loose tube stranded. 250um fiber, is positioned into a loose tube which made of high modulus plastics.
  • The tubes are filled with a water-resistant filling compound. The tubes (and fillers) are stranded around a FRP as a non-metallic central strength member into a compact and circular cable core. After the cable core is filled with filling compound.
  • It is covered with thin PE inner sheath.
  • After stranded layer of aramid yarns are applied over the inner sheath as strength member, the cable is completed with PE or AT (anti-tracking) outer sheath.
  • The ADSS outdoor fiber optic cable can be installed without shutting off the power: Excellent AT performance, The maximum inductive at the operating point of AT sheath can reach 25kV.
  • Light weight and small diameter reducing the load caused by ice and wind and the load on towers and back-props.
  • Large span lengths (80m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 300m, 500m) and the largest span is over 1000m.
  • Good performance of tensile strength and temperature.
Key Cable Advantages
All-Dielectric Construction

ADSS fiber optic cables are made entirely of non-conductive materials, making them safe for installation near energized power lines and eliminating the need for grounding.

Self-Supporting

They are designed to support their own weight and the forces of wind and ice, negating the need for a separate messenger wire.

High Tensile Strength

ADSS cables utilize materials like aramid fiber yarns to achieve high tensile strength, allowing them to withstand various environmental stresses.

Environmental Resistance

They are designed to resist UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, and moisture, making them suitable for diverse climates.

Long Span Capabilities

ADSS cables can span considerable distances between support structures (poles or towers), reducing the number of supports needed.

Design Considerations
  • The actual status of overhead power lines is taken into full consideration when ADSS cable is being designed.
  • For overhead power lines under 110kV, PE outer sheath is applied.
  • For power lines equal to or over 110kV, AT (anti-tracking) outer sheath is applied.
  • The dedicated design of aramid quantity and stranding process can satisfy the demand on 100m and 200m of spans.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an ADSS fiber optic cable?

ADSS stands for All-Dielectric Self-Supporting. It is a type of fiber optic cable that contains no metallic components and is strong enough to support itself between structures (such as utility poles or transmission towers) without needing a supportive metal messenger wire.

Can ADSS cable be installed while power lines are live?

Yes. Because the cable uses an all-dielectric construction (non-conductive materials only), it can be installed safely near high-voltage lines without shutting down the power, minimizing downtime and maintaining electrical service continuity.

When is the AT (Anti-Tracking) sheath used instead of the PE sheath?

A PE (polyethylene) outer sheath is applied for overhead power lines under 110kV. For power lines operating at 110kV or above, an AT (Anti-Tracking) outer sheath is required to withstand the high electrical fields and prevent electrical tracking damage, supporting operating points up to 25kV.

What is the typical span capacity of ADSS cables?

ADSS cables are engineered to handle diverse span lengths ranging from standard distances (80m, 100m, 150m, 200m, 300m, and 500m) to maximum specialized span capabilities that exceed 1000 meters depending on environmental loads.

How does ADSS cable handle wind and ice loading?

The cable features a lightweight design and small external diameter, which significantly minimizes the physical load caused by wind and ice accumulation. This design reduces mechanical stress on support towers and structures.
