ADSS cable is a type of fiber optic cable that is strong enough to
support itself between structures without containing conductive
metal elements. Both single mode and multimode fibers can be
arranged in ADSS cables with a maximum of 144 fibers. ADSS fiber
optic cable is designed for outside plant aerial and duct
applications in local and campus network loop architectures from
pole-to-building to town-to-town installations. The cabling system
that includes cables, suspension, dead-end, and termination
enclosures offers a comprehensive transmission circuit
infrastructure with high-reliability performance.
The structure of ADSS cable can be divided into two
categories—central tube structure and stranded structure. In a
central tube design, the fibers are placed in a PBT loose tube
filled with water-blocking material within a certain length. Then
they are wrapped with aramid yarn according to the desired tensile
strength and extruded with PE (≤110KV electric field strength) or
AT (≥100KV electric field strength) sheath. This structure features
with small diameter and light weight but has limited lengths.
In a stranded structure design, the inner optical fibers and
water-blocking grease are added into the fiber loose tube, and
different loose tubes are wound around the central reinforcement
(usually FRP). The rest parts are basically similar to the central
tube structure. This type is able to obtain longer fiber lengths.
Although the diameter and weight are relatively big, ADSS cables
with this structure are better to be deployed for large span
applications.
