Actual finished product may vary from illustration. 60 Fibre Mid Span ADSS Cable Stranded ADSS cable comprising up to 60 optical fibres contained in jelly-filled loose tubes (up to 12 fibres per tube). The tubes and fillers are laid around a central strength member and contained within a dry, water blocked cable core which is reinforced with aramid yarn and sheathed with UV stable Polyethylene. Surface printing includes sequential length marking at one metre intervals. Part Number S¥M5**LL0††BK Applicable Specifications AS/CA S008, AS 1049, AS/NZS 11801-1, TIA-598-D, IEC 60793, IEC 60794, ITU-T Recommendations Applications AFL all dielectric self-supporting cables are principally used for aerial installations - typically on roadside power distribution poles. Being totally non-metallic, it is ideal for applications in close proximity to power distribution lines. It is also suitable for single point suspension applications such as, down mine shafts or where the cable has to support higher load by providing fixed/variable tensile strength along the outer sheath. UV stabilised outer sheath as per AS 1049. Standard pole-mounting hardware is also readily available for this product. Contact AFL for assistance with sag-tension calculations or other application support.
