ADSS stands for All-Dielectric Self-Supporting. Let's break that down, because every word matters: All-Dielectric: It contains ZERO metal. No steel messenger wire, no aluminum armor. This means it is non-conductive. 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. 1. 1 The structure of ADSS optical cable ADSS is the abbreviation of All Dielectric Self-Supporting aerial optical cable in English, which means "all-dielectric self-supporting optical cable", and its structure does not contain any metal materials. AFL-ADSS® (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable is ideal for installation in distribution as well as transmission environments. ADSS stands for All-Dielectric Self-Supporting. It is made entirely of glass, plastic, and aramid fibers. The result is that they can be hung in a straight line between poles or towers with no additional metallic. The ADSS Optical Cable is the full -scale self -inheritance optical cable. Composition: It consists of non -metallic enhanced core, fiber, aluminum foil shielding layer and non -metal protective cover. Features: no metal, tension resistance, self -inheritance, high insulation, inductiveness.

This procedure provides general information for installing all Corning Optical Communications Solo® ADSS All-Dielectric Self-Supporting fiber optic cables from 2-288 fibers. This document provides installation instructions for the Cisco Coarse Wave Division Multiplexer (CWDM) passive optical system. The CWDM passive optical system product numbers are listed in Table 1. Copyright © 2004–2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. Each installation will be influenced by local conditions. The reader should be experienced in aerial fiber optic cable. ADSS Cables (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting Cables) are a specialized type of fiber optic cable designed for aerial installation without metallic components. As someone who has worked on numerous ADSS projects at Bright Power Co. Since there are numerous practices which may be utilized, Prysmian has tested and determined that the practices described herein are effective and efficient. They are adopted widely because they are made of fully dielectrics, are relatively lightweight, and can be installed even without conducting.

The standard specifies the geometrical, mechanical, and transmission attributes of a single-mode optical fibre as well as its cable. The fibre has zero-dispersion wavelength around 1310 nm as per how it was designed, however it can also be used in the 1550 nm wavelength region.
