Multi-cores Outdoor Fiber Optical ADSS Cable, PE Single Sheath

ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable with PE single sheath is a multi-core outdoor fiber optic cable designed for aerial installation along power lines. It uses a fully non-metallic construction with a polyethylene jacket, making it immune to electromagnetic interference and lightning while eliminating the need for a separate messenger wire.

Core Structure (PE Single Sheath)

✅ The cable is built around a central strength member, with fibers housed in loose tubes and reinforced by aramid yarn.
✅ Central Strength Member: A FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) rod runs through the center, providing tensile strength while keeping the cable fully dielectric.
✅ Loose Tubes: Multiple PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) tubes are stranded around the central member. Each tube contains up to 12 optical fibers (typically G.652D) and is filled with a water-blocking gel.
✅ Strength Layer: Aramid yarn is applied over the cable core. This is the primary load-bearing element that allows the cable to self-support across spans.
✅ Outer Sheath: A black PE (Polyethylene) jacket. For single-sheath ADSS, this PE layer is extruded directly over the aramid yarn. It provides UV protection and is suitable for installations where the electric field is below 12kV.

Products Overview

This cable is designed for outdoor aerial installation, meaning it is strung between poles or towers. The "All-Dielectric" part means it contains no metal components, making it ideal for installation on power utility lines as it is immune to electromagnetic interference. The "Self-Supporting" capability comes from high-strength materials like aramid yarn (often referred to by the brand name Kevlar) that are integrated into the cable's design, allowing it to bear its own weight and withstand environmental loads like wind and ice over long spans.
