ADSS (All Dielectric Self-Supporting) Cable is an optical cable designed so its tensile strength will provide the necessary resistance to aerial plant sag to overcome the effects of its weight, ice and wind loading, and the cable span to remain serviceable, even. ADSS (All Dielectric Self-Supporting) Cable is an optical cable designed so its tensile strength will provide the necessary resistance to aerial plant sag to overcome the effects of its weight, ice and wind loading, and the cable span to remain serviceable, even. This all dielectric loose tube aerial optical cable is designed for external self-supporting applications requiring short distance spans between poles (maximum 150 metres). See the attached cabled optical fibre data sheet. Fillers are either natural (opaque) or black, jelly filled tubes (with no. ADSS fiber optic cables considerably limit the signal loss over long distances. ADSS cables look forward to survive harsh outdoor environment conditions: Temperature Range: UV Resistance: Sheath materials are UV-resistant, which ensures that they are made to last outdoors all year round. ADSS optical fiber when it may exceed the design load during its effective useful life.
