Aerial Cable ADSS

Aerial Cable ADSS

All-Dielectric Self-Supporting cables are designed for installation on aerial distribution and transmission power lines. ADSS cable design and associated sag and tension charts are generated in accordance with the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) requirements for Light, Medium and Heavy loading conditions. Available in Short span, Medium Span and Long Span to accommodate all aerial requirements. The ADSS cable consists of loose tubes (buffer tubes and fillers) stranded around the fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) central strength member, with MDPE extruded for the inner sheath. Aramid yarns are applied as a dielectric strength member for the cable and MDPE is extruded for the outer sheath. The loose tube sheath is PBT. The single mode fibers are secondary coated into the loose tube and each loose tube is filled with water-blocking compound. All the interstices of the cable core are filled with water-swellable yarn or gel with water swellable tape around the outer layer. Spans lengths to 2,300ft. (700 meters.) Fiber counts up to 432.
