ADSS Cable Construction
All-Dielectric Structure: The cable uses non-metallic components throughout its construction, eliminating the need for a metallic messenger in self-supporting aerial installation.
Fiber Tube Arrangement: The reference 48F configuration contains six cable elements with 12 fibers arranged in each tube.
Water Protection: The cable construction incorporates moisture protection around the optical fiber units for outdoor cable deployment.
Outer Sheath: The reference configuration uses a 1.8 mm nominal outer sheath, with a finished cable diameter of approximately 12.9 mm.
Optical & Environmental Performance
Low Attenuation: ≤0.36 dB/km at 1310 nm and ≤0.22 dB/km at 1550 nm, helping reduce signal loss and preserve transmission margin over longer cable runs.
Defined Mode Field Diameter: 9.2 ±0.4 μm at 1310 nm and 10.4 ±0.8 μm at 1550 nm, supporting consistent single-mode transmission and fiber connection compatibility.
Controlled Chromatic Dispersion: ≤3.5 ps/(nm·km) from 1288–1339 nm and ≤18 ps/(nm·km) at 1550 nm, helping limit pulse spreading on longer transmission links.
Low Bending Loss: ≤0.05 dB after 100 turns at a 30 mm radius, helping minimize additional optical loss during cable routing and installation.
Standards & Testing
Fiber Specification: The reference configuration uses G.652D fiber with defined attenuation, mode field diameter, dispersion and bending-loss requirements.
Mechanical Verification: The stated cable data includes maximum allowable tension, short-term crush resistance and minimum bend-radius requirements for mechanical evaluation.
Project Compliance: Applicable cable specifications and testing requirements can be confirmed against the purchaser's technical specification before production.
