ADSS cable is short for All Dielectric Self Supporting optic fiber cables, which provide a fast and economical transmission channel in power communication systems due to their unique structure, good insulation and high temperature resistance, and high tensile strength. Generally, ADSS is cheaper than OPGW (optical fiber composite ground wire) in many applications, and it is easier to install. It is desirable, and in some places even necessary, to use ADSS fiber optic cable for power lines or their nearby towers.
