Double Sheath Kevlar Yarn Reinforced ADSS Fiber Optic Cable
Description
The ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable is designed with a loose tube stranding structure. The
fibers are securely housed in high modulus plastic tubes that are filled with a water-resistant compound
to protect against moisture. These tubes, along with fillers, are then stranded around a central strength
member made of non-metallic FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic), forming a compact and circular cable core.
To further enhance protection, the core is filled with a filling compound and encased in a thin polyethylene
(PE) inner sheath. For additional reinforcement, a stranded layer of aramid yarns is applied over this inner
sheath. Finally, the cable is finished with an outer sheath, which can be either polyethylene (PE) for standard
applications or anti-tracking (AT) for environments with high electrical stress.This construction ensures the
ADSS cable is highly durable, moisture-resistant, and capable of withstanding various environmental conditions,
making it ideal for both aerial and underground installations.
Application
1. The ADSS cable design considers the real-time conditions of overhead power lines, ensuring optimal
performance and durability in such environments.
2. A PE outer sheath is used for power lines below 110kV, while an AT (anti-tracking) outer sheath is employed
for power lines operating at 110kV and above to provide enhanced protection.
3. The specific design, including the quantity of aramid yarn and the stranding process, is tailored to meet
varying span requirements effectively, ensuring that the cable performs reliably across different installation
scenarios.
Characteristics
1. Allows installation without requiring a power shutdown, ensuring minimal disruption to service.
2. Lightweight and small diameter reduce stress from ice, wind, tower, and backprop loads, enhancing the
cable's durability and performance.
3. Designed for a lifespan of 30 years, offering long-term reliability and cost-effectiveness.
4. Exhibits strong tensile strength and temperature resilience, ensuring reliable performance in various
environmental conditions.
