Aerial ADSS optical cable for outdoor networks
This modern, self-supporting ADSS optical cable is specifically designed for aerial installation, bridging longer distances and ensuring reliable data transmission. The 24-fiber, G.657A1 standard optical fibers provide high bandwidth, low attenuation, and flexible use for various network applications, whether for internet, IPTV, or telephone networks.
Structure and design
The 24-fiber optical cable is arranged in 6 tubes, each containing 4 fibers, allowing for clear installation and quick identification. The sheath diameter is approximately 9.8 mm, creating a good balance between mechanical resistance and flexible handling.
- Number of fibers: 24 optical fibers
- Structure: 6x4 fiber tube
- Fiber type: G.657A1 flexible optical fiber
- Outer diameter: approx. 9.8 mm
- Design: ADSS, self-supporting aerial optical cable
G.657A1 optical fiber – high performance with a smaller bending radius
The G.657A1 fibers have one of the greatest advantages of a small bending radius, allowing for routing in tight bends and placement in compact cable ducts with minimal signal loss. This is particularly useful for:
- multiple direction changes on poles,
- connections into buildings,
- optical distribution cabinets in tight spaces.
The G.657A1 standard is compatible with most common optical systems, making it suitable for FTTH, FTTB, and other high-speed data transmission solutions without issues.
Mechanical load capacity – 3 kN tensile strength
The cable's 3 kN nominal tensile strength provides high mechanical resistance during aerial suspension. This value indicates that the cable can safely withstand loads from spans and environmental effects (wind, ice, snow).
- Suitable even for larger pole distances
- Self-supporting structure without extra support elements
- Minimal elongation and long-term stability
Optimized for outdoor aerial installation
This optical cable is specifically designed for outdoor aerial installation. The outer sheath and the internal reinforced structure are designed to withstand adverse weather conditions and mechanical stress.
- UV-resistant outer sheath against sunlight
- Weather-resistant design: withstands rain, snow, frost
- Suitable for aerial suspension near electrical wires (ADSS – All-Dielectric Self-Supporting)
Areas of application
The aerial ADSS optical cable can be used in various networks. Due to its compact size and reliable optical properties, it is an ideal choice for providers, system integrators, and corporate users.
- Provider backbone and distribution networks
- FTTH / FTTx access networks
- Corporate and industrial optical connections
- Aerial connections between municipalities, industrial parks, campus networks
- Data transmission lines for video surveillance systems
Benefits for end-users and installers
Using such an optical cable not only supports a stable connection but also facilitates cost-effective and quick execution. Aerial installation is often a cheaper and more flexible alternative to underground solutions.
- Fast installation: no need for excavation, digging, or road disruption.
- High data transmission capacity: the 24 fibers allow for parallel running of multiple services and future expansion.
- Reliability: the optical fiber is insensitive to electromagnetic interference, providing a stable and secure connection.
- Flexibility: due to the G.657A1 fibers, it can be routed in tight spaces with a smaller bending radius.
Installation considerations
During aerial installation of the cable, it is important to adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations regarding maximum span, allowable pulling force, and minimum bending radius. Selecting the appropriate fittings (suspension clamps, support brackets, tensioning elements) is essential for long-term operational reliability.
- Care should be taken to limit pulling force during installation
- Avoid bends below the allowed bending radius
- It is recommended to adjust the installation work to the weather conditions
Why choose this optical cable?
The 24-fiber ADSS aerial optical cable is an ideal choice if you want to build a reliable, high-capacity, and future-proof network. The high tensile strength, flexibility of G.657A1 fibers, and outdoor UV-resistant design together guarantee long service life and stable operation.
