Fiber Optic Cable 258 Original Std ADSS Flex-Span ADSS New Std ADSS Applications • Electric utility transmission lines – Typically framed under conductors • EHV environments – Tracking-resistant options available Features • Up to 432 fibers in cable – Gel-Free Buffer Tube options available – up to 216 fibers • Designs capable of span lengths up to 3500 ft. • Double jacket designs provide additional protection to the fibers for longer span lengths and higher strength requirements • Track-resistant outer jacket available for high voltage transmission lines for space potential values up to 25 kV • Gel-filled tubes are reverse-oscillated (SZ stranded) to allow slack for mid-span access Cable Components All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (AFL-ADSS ® ) Fiber Optic Cable AFL-ADSS ® (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cable is designed for outside plant aerial transmission and distribution environments. As its name indicates, there are no metallic components and the cable does not require a support or messenger wire. These attributes allow the cable to be installed live-line and in the power space of distribution lines. Polyethylene or track resistant outer jacket Polyethylene inner jacket Torque-balanced aramid yarns Ripcords FRP central member Water-blocking system NOTE : AFL-ADSS is a custom designed product.
