Featuring high-strength aramid yarns, these optical fiber cables are engineered for peak performance, minimizing the load on towers against cable weight, wind, and ice. With internal glass optical fibers receiving impeccable support, experience low optical loss throughout. All-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cable is a type of optical fiber cable that is strong enough to support itself between structures without using conductive metal elements. It is used by electrical utility companies as a communications medium, installed along existing overhead transmission. AFL-ADSS® (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable is ideal for installation in distribution as well as transmission environments, even when live-line installations are required. Flex-Span ADSS expands on AFL's single jacket ADSS portfolio. They are being deployed by cable. Micromodule: thin wall flexible tubing, FlexTube®, filled with a suitable compound, housing the single-mode optical fibres. The fibres inside the tubes can be accessed without the need of any specific tool. Longitudinal Water Tightness: water swellable materials (dry core). Q11: What are the maximum installation forces recommended, and what should be done for? A11: Recommended maximum installation forces are in. All dielectric self supported cable (ADSS). The double jacket construction adds bigger mechanical resistance.
