When purchasing ADSS optical cable, you need factory OTDR test reports, mechanical and environmental test data (tensile strength, crush resistance, temperature cycling, UV aging), material traceability certificates for aramid yarn and PE jackets, and third-party quality.

AFL-ADSS ® (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cable is designed for outside plant aerial transmission and distribution environments. As its name indicates, there are no metallic components and the cable does not require a support or messenger wire. One of the identification or selection methods is defined by the voltage level to which they will be subjected and/or the wind speed they will be able to withstand. It is used by electrical utility companies as a communications medium, installed along existing overhead transmission. ADSS cable is a type of fiber optic cable that is strong enough to support itself between structures without containing conductive metal elements. Both single mode and multimode fibers can be arranged in ADSS cables with a maximum of 144 fibers. ADSS fiber optic cable is designed for outside plant. Micromodule: thin wall flexible tubing, FlexTube®, filled with a suitable compound, housing the single-mode optical fibres.
