ASU 100m span Optical fiber ASU cable

ASU 100m Span Optic Fiber String – High-Performance, Compact, and Reliable for Modern Telecommunications

Discover the ASU 100m span optic fiber string—a premium solution engineered for efficient deployment in aerial and indoor fiber networks. Designed with a loose tube structure and advanced materials, this non-metallic fiber cable offers superior durability, reduced installation time, and enhanced signal integrity. Ideal for telecom providers, utility companies, and infrastructure developers seeking a lightweight, high-capacity alternative to traditional GYFTY designs.

The ASU fiber string supports 4 to 12 optical fibers per strand, with color-coded strands for easy identification during splicing and termination. Each fiber is housed in a water-blocking gel-filled tube, ensuring long-term performance even in humid or wet environments. The inclusion of FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) strength members provides exceptional tensile resistance—critical for overhead installations where mechanical stress is common. This dielectric design eliminates electromagnetic interference risks, making it suitable for use near power lines or in sensitive industrial settings.

Key features include a compact cross-sectional profile (6.8 mm ± 0.2 mm), a nominal weight of just 45 kg/km, and a choice between Polyethylene (PE) or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jackets for improved fire safety and environmental compatibility. The LSZH option is especially valuable in confined spaces such as data centers, office buildings, and underground conduits where smoke and toxic gas emissions must be minimized.

Engineered for simplicity, the ASU fiber string simplifies stripping, splicing, and installation processes—reducing labor hours and minimizing downtime. Its streamlined construction allows for quick deployment over short spans, typically up to 100 meters, which makes it ideal for last-mile connectivity, campus networks, and small-cell backhaul applications. Unlike bulkier alternatives, this cable’s low mass and flexibility enable easier handling and routing through tight ducts or along poles without additional support structures.

Common use cases include rural broadband expansion, smart city infrastructure, industrial automation systems, and hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) upgrades. Whether you're installing new fiber links or upgrading existing ones, the ASU 100m optic fiber string delivers consistent performance across diverse climates—from arid deserts to coastal regions with high salt exposure.

Users consistently praise its reliability in harsh outdoor conditions and the ease of integration into existing network architectures. Many report significant reductions in project timelines due to simplified handling and fewer required tools. The clear color coding also helps reduce errors during maintenance, while the robust jacketing ensures longevity under UV exposure and temperature fluctuations.

Frequently asked questions include: Is it suitable for direct burial? While primarily designed for aerial use, the PE jacket version can be used in shallow direct burial applications if properly protected from abrasion. Can it be spliced using standard fusion splicers? Yes—it’s compatible with industry-standard equipment and requires no special training. How does it compare to ADSS cables? Both are non-metallic, but ASU offers better flexibility and lower weight per unit length, making it more cost-effective for shorter runs.
