ARSS Hostile to Rat Open Air Fiber Optic Cable – Durable, High-Capacity Solution for Overhead Deployment This advanced ARSS fiber optic cable is engineered specifically for outdoor use in environments where rodent damage and harsh weather conditions pose significant threats to communication infrastructure. Designed with a unique free-tube stranded structure, it offers superior mechanical strength, moisture resistance, and long-term reliability—making it ideal for telecom networks, utility providers, and industrial applications across diverse climates. Key Features: - Anti-Rodent Protection: Incorporates aramid yarn reinforcement and steel tape layers to deter chewing animals, ensuring uninterrupted service even in high-risk zones. - Water-Blocking Technology: Each
loose tube is filled with a gel compound, while water-blocking tape wraps around the core, preventing ingress from rain, humidity, or flooding. - Lightweight & Flexible Design: Uses FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) central strength member for enhanced tensile performance without adding bulk—perfect for aerial installations. - Low Attenuation Performance: Achieves ≤0.35 dB/km at 1310nm and ≤0.22 dB/km at 1550nm, enabling efficient long-haul data transmission over extended distances. - Robust Outer Sheath: Made from UV-resistant PE (Polyethylene) material, offering excellent durability against sunlight exposure, temperature extremes, and chemical degradation. Detailed Description: The ARSS
ADSS Fiber Optic Cable features four PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) loose tubes, each containing six optical fibers, totaling 24 cores—a configuration ideal for high-bandwidth deployments. Its compact circular design ensures ease of installation on poles or towers, minimizing wind load and improving structural integrity. The outer diameter measures just 10 mm, allowing for tight routing in congested urban areas or rural overhead setups. With a long-term tensile strength of 2500 N and short-term burst capacity up to 5000 N, this cable withstands extreme weather events such as ice loading, strong winds, or accidental tension during maintenance. Crush resistance ratings of 1000 N (long-term) and 2000 N (short-term) further enhance its resilience under physical stress. Ideal Use Cases: This cable excels in applications requiring robust protection against environmental hazards and animal interference. It is commonly deployed in rural broadband expansion projects, smart grid communications, public safety networks, and remote monitoring systems. Whether used for FTTH (Fiber to the Home), mobile backhaul, or enterprise connectivity, the ARSS cable delivers consistent signal quality and operational stability in both temperate and tropical regions. User Feedback: Customers worldwide praise its exceptional longevity and minimal maintenance needs. Many report zero rodent-related failures after years of deployment in agricultural zones, forested areas, and coastal locations. Installers appreciate its flexibility and compatibility with standard pulling equipment, reducing labor time and costs significantly. Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this cable resistant to rats? It combines aramid yarn shielding with a layered steel tape sheath that physically deters gnawing animals, unlike conventional cables vulnerable to burrowing pests. Is it suitable for direct burial or only aerial use? Primarily designed for overhead installations, though some users have successfully adapted it for buried applications with additional protective conduits. How does it compare to other ADSS cables in terms of attenuation? With lower loss values than many competitors at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, it supports higher data rates over longer spans without repeaters. Can it be installed in cold climates? Yes, the PE jacket remains flexible down to -40°C, making it appropriate for Arctic or mountainous regions where traditional materials may crack or degrade.
