Structure of ADSS optical cable
Cables must be designed for the worst-case combinations of temperature, ice load, and wind. On long spans where utilities already experience caused by sustained high wind, dampers may need to be installed on ADSS cable also. ADSS cables are manufactured in two primary structural designs— central tube and layered twist —each optimized for specific span lengths, fiber counts, and environmental conditions. Designed specifically for deployment alongside power lines and utility poles, ADSS. 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.
