Aerial ADSS optical cable, XOTKtsdD type, 72 fibers (6x12 fiber bundle), G657A1, 3 kN, 10 mm, Extralink
Aerial ADSS optical cable for reliable outdoor networks
This suspended design, self-supporting optical cable is specifically designed for aerial installation, offering high reliability and long lifespan. The cable contains 72 optical fibers, arranged in 6 x 12 fiber bundles, making it an ideal solution for building high-capacity, future-proof data transmission networks. The G657A1 type fiber has a small bending radius, making it easy to install and route in tight pathways.
Main features and benefits
- Self-supporting ADSS design – aerial suspension without separate steel wire
- 72 optical fibers – high network capacity with expansion reserve
- G657A1 flexible fiber – smaller minimum bending radius, easier installation
- 3 kN tensile strength – safe tensioning and stability over long spans
- Approx. 10 mm sheath diameter – good mechanical protection and ease of handling
- Designed for outdoor aerial optical networks – durable protection against weather effects
Applications
The cable is primarily designed for telecommunications and data transmission purposes where high bandwidth, reliability, and flexible expandability are important. It is suitable for building new networks as well as expanding the capacity of existing systems.
- FTTH, FTTB, and FTTx optical network backbone sections
- Connections between corporate and industrial sites
- Aerial optical interconnection for video surveillance systems (CCTV)
- Municipal, urban, and regional data backbone networks
- Communication networks for energy and industrial facilities
G657A1 fiber – flexible yet high-performance
The G657A1 optical fiber allows for a smaller bending radius compared to traditional G652D fibers while maintaining excellent transmission parameters. This is particularly useful in locations where the cable must pass through many bends, cable angles, or tight distribution cabinets.
- Reduced signal loss in bends
- High bandwidth for long-distance data transmission
- Compatible with most optical system modules and connectors
72-fiber design – future-proof capacity
The 72 optical fibers are arranged in 6 x 12 fiber bundles within the cable structure. This structure allows for easy identification of fibers and provides significant expansion reserve in the network.
Advantages:
- Enables parallel transmission of multiple services (internet, IPTV, VoIP, CCTV)
- Flexibility in network segmentation and redundancy design
- Easier fiber management and identification during installation
3 kN tensile strength for safe aerial installation
The cable has a nominal tensile strength of 3 kN, providing significant reserve against mechanical loads encountered during aerial suspension. This is especially important for longer spans and in locations where the cable is exposed to wind, ice, or snow loads.
- Reliable suspension on poles, between buildings
- Reduced risk of damage under extreme weather conditions
- Stable signal transmission while minimizing cable deformation
Approximately 10 mm diameter – robust yet manageable
The approximately 10 mm outer diameter strikes an ideal balance between mechanical protection and ease of handling. It is robust enough to withstand outdoor effects while being a manageable size for most optical cable holders, clamps, and suspension elements.
- Easy cable tying and securing
- Compatibility with standard ADSS accessories
- Easier pulling and tensioning during installation
Typical installation steps
When building an aerial optical network, proper planning and execution are essential for long-term, error-free operation. The following general steps provide guidance for installation.
- Network design – determining the route, spans, and fixing points
- Selecting appropriate suspension elements and fittings
- Lifting and tensioning the cable between poles or buildings
- Securing with ADSS clamps and supports, adjusting tension
- Splicing optical fibers, connecting, measuring, and documenting
Why is this aerial optical cable beneficial for your network?
This product combines the advantages of modern optical fiber technology with the durability of robust outdoor design. The high fiber capacity, flexibility of G657A1 optical fibers, 3 kN tensile strength, and structure optimized for aerial installation all contribute to building a reliable, high-speed data transmission network for the long term.
