All Dielectric Self-supporting Aerial Cable(ADSS)
Single Jacket Loose Tube Cable ADSS Outdoor Optical Fiber Cable
Description For All Dielectric Self Supporting
ADSS, or all-dielectric self-supporting cable, is a cable that requires no metallic strand in aerial applications and is commonly used in proximity to high voltage. ADSS can certainly be deployed in the communications space, but not without a few challenging consequences. First, pre-planned splice closure locations must be used with ADSS because the closures must be pole-mounted. Elimination of a hanging strand with ADSS is positive from a cost perspective, but it also means no additional cables may be lashed to the ADSS cable, and all branch cables and drop cables must be attached to the pole directly as no midspan attachments may be made.
