 | ADSSAll Dielectric Self-SupportingFiberOptic Cable
Applications
The “All Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS)” cables are designed for aerial self-supporting applications at short, medium and long span distances. ADSS cables offer a rapid and economical means for deploying optical fiber cables along existing aerial rights-of-way. They are being deployed by cable television operators, telephone companies, municipalities and emerging network operators, in addition to electric power utilities.
Construction
The ADSS cable consists of a number of tubes/elements according to the specified number of fibers. The elements are usually fiber-containing tubes; however fillers may be used to preserve the cable geometry. Two to twelve color-coded fibers are loosely laid in each tube which is filled with a water-blocking gel. The tubes are stranded around a dielectric central strength member and bound in a jacket. A water-swelling tape is helically wrapped around the cable core. Aramid yarn strength members are helically laid to supply peripheral strengthening of the cable. The outer jacket is tightly bound over the aramid yarn layer. For long span applications a double jacket design can be considered. A ripcord is located under each jacket layer to facilitate its removal. For up to 30 fiber cables, the “ADSB” design is applicable, for 32-144 fibers the “ADSC” design is applicable. Dry cable designs, ballistic protection and other cable designs are available upon request.. Standards - Cables are designed for aerial installation according to IEEE-P1 222 - Cables tested according to TIA/EIA-455 and IEC-60794-1. - Cables meet or exceed Telcordia (Bellcore) requirements for outside plant cables (GR-20) when the appropriate options are chosen.

 | Loose Tube Fiber OpticDouble Armored/Double Jacket
Application
This document specifies a loose tube cable, with a dielectric central member. The cable contains up to 36 tubes each tube contains up to 12 fibers. The cable is glass yarn reinforced. The jacket incorporates a inner PE layer, a steel tape armor, second PE layer, second steel tape armor and an outer UV resistant HDPE jacket. The cable is designed for outdoor applications, in ducts. The cable supplied in duct.
Construction
Up to 432 optical fibers are enclosed in PBT tubes. The tubes and fibers are color coded for easy identification (see paragraph 5 for details). The tubes are filled with a thixotropic gel to prevent the ingress of water. The tubes are SZ stranded around a dielectric central member. PE fillers are added when needed to form the rounded cable core. The interstices in the cable core are filled with a dry water swelling material to prevent water penetration. Water swelling glass yarn is laid over the tubes to serve as peripheral strength members. A Medium-Density Polyethylene inner jacket is extruded over the yarn. A corrugated steel tape is longitudinally applied over the inner jacket. A second MDPE jacket is applied over the steel tape. A second corrugated steel tape is longitudinally applied over the second MDPE jacket. The outer jacket, made of UV resistant HDPE, is extruded over the steel tape. Two ripcords are laid at 180o under each layer of the steel tape to facilitate the jacket removal. Another ripcord is laid under the inner jacket. The cable is threaded into black HDPE duct, with 4 red stripes on it. |
