Aerial optical cable for reliable outdoor networks
This high-capacity, 12-fiber ADSS aerial optical cable is an ideal solution for building long-term, reliable outdoor data transmission networks. Thanks to the G657A1 type bend-tolerant optical fibers, it is excellently applicable when suspended on poles, on utility poles, and in other overhead systems where stable signal transmission and mechanical resistance are important.
Main features and benefits
- 12-fiber design (3x4J) with flexible network expansion options
- G657A1 bend-tolerant fibers, excellent signal quality even in tight bends
- 3 kN tensile strength for safe aerial suspension
- 9.8 mm outer diameter, optimal compromise between durability and weight
- ADSS (All Dielectric Self Supporting) construction – without metal fibers, lightning and interference resistant
- Outdoor, UV and weather-resistant sheath, designed for long service life
- Reliable high-speed data transmission in optical networks
Areas of application
The cable is specifically designed for aerially suspended optical networks where safe installation and long-term stable operation are important. Suitable for:
- Internet service provider backbone networks
- FTTH (Fiber To The Home) and FTTx systems
- Connections between industrial facilities and plants
- Municipal, camera system, and smart city networks
- Optical coverage of rural areas with pole installation
Advantages of ADSS technology
The ADSS (All Dielectric Self Supporting) technology means that the cable has a completely dielectric, metal-free construction and can be suspended in a self-supporting manner without a separate supporting steel wire. This offers the following advantages:
- electrically safe solution, does not conduct electricity
- greater resistance to lightning strikes and electromagnetic interference
- simpler, faster installation, requiring fewer accessories
- lower maintenance requirements throughout its lifetime
G657A1 bend-tolerant optical fibers
The G657A1 standard fibers are specifically optimized for bend tolerance, ensuring stable signal transmission even when the cable describes tighter bends or requires multiple direction changes. This is particularly useful:
- when winding around poles
- in sections led along building facades
- in crowded cable environments, alongside multiple optical cables
Reducing the error rate and ensuring reliable signal transmission makes network operation more cost-effective and requires less on-site intervention.
Mechanical resistance and durability
The 3 kN tensile strength allows for strong and secure aerial suspension, even over longer spans. The 9.8 mm outer diameter provides adequate mechanical protection for the fibers without unnecessarily increasing weight.
- resistant to wind and ice loads
- minimal deformation under prolonged stress
- stable optical performance across the entire structural length
Outdoor, UV-resistant sheath
The outer sheath material is specifically designed for outdoor use. UV-resistant, weatherproof, resistant to rain, snow, frost, and temperature fluctuations. This design ensures that the cable retains its mechanical and optical properties for many years, even under extreme environmental conditions.
Easy installation and maintenance
The aerial installation-optimized design allows for quick and cost-effective installation. The cable is compatible with standard ADSS support and tensioning fittings, making it easy to integrate into existing systems.
- Identify suspension points on poles or supporting structures
- Apply appropriate ADSS clamps and tensioners
- Stretch and secure the cable according to manufacturer recommendations
- Perform splicing, terminations, and connections to distribution boxes
Maintenance requirements are low, as the construction is resistant to mechanical and environmental effects, thus reducing operational costs for the network.
Suitable for high-speed optical networks
The 12 optical fibers provide sufficient reserve for serving multiple services or endpoints simultaneously. An ideal choice for:
- high bandwidth internet connections
- data transmission for IP-based camera systems
- voice, data, and video communication services
- corporate and industrial optical backbone networks
As the foundation of modern optical network infrastructure, this cable provides a stable, fast, and future-proof data connection.
Why is this aerial optical cable a good choice?
- reliable aerial optical connection for the long term
- 12-fiber design with flexible network expansion
- G657A1 bend-tolerant technology for stable signals
- ADSS, metal-free, electrically safe construction
