All Dielectric Self-supporting ADSS Aerial Fiber Optic Cable

All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) Aerial Fiber Optic Cable‌
This cable features a loose tube stranded structure, with 250μm optical fibers housed within high modulus loose tubes. These tubes are filled with waterproof gel for moisture protection. The loose tubes, together with filling rods, are helically stranded around a non-metallic central strength member (FRP) to form a tightly packed core, with any gaps filled with water-blocking grease. The core is protected by an inner polyethylene (PE) sheath, reinforced with aramid yarn for added tensile strength, and finished with an outer PE sheath or an Anti-Tracking (AT) outer sheath for enhanced durability in challenging environments.

ADSS Cable (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting Optical Fiber Cable)‌

ADSS cables are constructed entirely with non-metallic materials, including a non-metallic reinforcement core, optical fibers, aluminum foil shielding, and a non-metallic protective jacket. This design provides excellent insulation properties, making them immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). With sufficient tensile strength to support their own weight and external loads, ADSS cables eliminate the need for additional steel cables or conduit supports. They can be directly suspended on utility poles, streetlight poles, and other power infrastructure, simplifying installation and maintenance.

The non-metallic reinforcement core is typically made from high-strength polymers such as polyimide or nylon, capable of withstanding significant tension. The all-dielectric structure keeps the cable lightweight, facilitating transportation and installation. Optical fibers enable high-speed, high-capacity data transmission, while aluminum foil shielding reduces external EMI and signal loss, enhancing transmission quality. The durable materials ensure a long service life, with stable performance in harsh weather and environmental conditions. The non-metallic protective jacket further safeguards against mechanical and climatic damage.

ADSS cables offer relatively low installation and maintenance costs, effectively reducing construction and operational expenses. Their non-metallic composition also makes them environmentally friendly.

In power systems, ADSS cables play a critical role in power dispatch, monitoring, and protection, ensuring grid stability. They enable real-time power data transmission, providing reliable communication support for remote monitoring and real-time control of power systems. Additionally, they are widely used in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), including highways, urban roads, and railways, delivering high-speed, stable data transmission for traffic signal control, surveillance systems, and smart infrastructure development.

In urban  ( informatization) initiatives, ADSS cables serve as key infrastructure for traffic signal control, surveillance systems, smart grids, urban lighting, and security networks. For fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks, they act as materials, delivering high-speed broadband access and reliable data transmission services for urban residents and businesses.

ADSS Cable (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting Aerial Fiber Optic Cable)‌
This cable is designed for installation on power line towers without requiring power shutdown. It features an AT sheath for superior anti-tracking performance, making it ideal for high-voltage environments (up to 220kV). Its lightweight and small diameter minimize ice/wind impact and reduce tower load. With a design life exceeding 30 years, it offers excellent tensile strength and temperature resistance.
