Self-Supporting Aerial Fiber Cable – High-Performance ADSS Solution for Modern Telecommunications

Engineered for reliability and ease of deployment, our double-jacketed self-supporting aerial fiber optic cable (ADSS-48B1.3) delivers superior performance in overhead installations without the need for power shutdowns. Designed specifically for utility poles and transmission towers, this single-mode optical fiber solution offers exceptional electrical insulation, with a maximum induced voltage tolerance of up to 25 kV, making it ideal for high-voltage environments. Its lightweight construction minimizes mechanical stress from wind, ice, and structural loads—enabling longer spans exceeding 800 meters while maintaining excellent tensile strength across extreme temperature ranges.

Key features include a robust fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) central strength member for durability, dual polyethylene jackets that provide UV resistance and waterproof protection, and Kevlar yarn for enhanced load distribution. This design not only simplifies installation but also ensures long-term stability in demanding outdoor conditions. With a compact diameter and small bending radius, it reduces environmental impact and improves efficiency in both urban and rural infrastructure projects.

The product’s advanced structure supports up to 48 fibers per cable, allowing scalable network expansion without increasing physical footprint. Whether used for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), cellular backhaul, or smart grid communication systems, this adss cable provides consistent signal integrity, low attenuation, and future-ready capacity. The inclusion of a double jacket enhances protection against moisture ingress and abrasion, extending service life even under harsh weather exposure such as heavy snowfall, coastal salinity, or desert heat.

Common applications span telecommunications networks, utility companies, and public infrastructure providers seeking cost-effective alternatives to traditional ducted fiber solutions. It is particularly well-suited for regions where pole-mounted fiber deployment is preferred due to terrain challenges or rapid rollout requirements. The streamlined installation process—requiring no specialized tools or extensive labor—makes it a top choice for contractors aiming to reduce project timelines and operational costs.

Users consistently praise its resilience in real-world deployments—from mountainous areas to coastal zones—highlighting how the combination of mechanical strength, weatherproofing, and minimal maintenance needs translates into reduced downtime and improved ROI. Many report significant savings in labor hours compared to conventional methods, especially when working on existing utility structures where access is limited.

Q: What makes this ADSS cable different from standard aerial fiber cables?
A: Unlike traditional designs, this self-supporting model eliminates the need for additional support hardware like messenger wires, reducing material and labor costs. Its dual-layer jacketing provides superior environmental protection, and its optimized weight profile allows for longer spans without compromising safety or performance.

Q: Can it be installed during live line operations?
A: Yes—thanks to its high dielectric properties, this cable can safely be installed near energized power lines, eliminating the need for temporary de-energization and minimizing disruption to service continuity.

Q: How does it perform in extreme climates?
A: Engineered to withstand temperatures from -40°C to +70°C, the PE outer jacket resists cracking, UV degradation, and thermal cycling, ensuring reliable operation year-round in diverse global environments.
