ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cable is a type of aerial cable specially designed for installation along overhead power lines or telecommunication poles, without requiring any metallic support structure or grounding. It is:
All-dielectric: Non-metallic features, providing a shield against the interference of electromagnetic waves.
Self-supporting: Capable of upholding its own weight over spaces as large as 1000 m.
Highly reliable: Engineered for a service life of many decades, characterized by outdoor use in environments of intense weather.
Full Form: The ADSS is an abbreviation for All-Dielectric Self-Supporting.
Definition: Such a fiber optic cable is made for aerial installation and it is not supported with a messenger wire. It comprises non-metallic materials and has the ability to support its own weight in between poles or towers.
Core Count | Ideal Use Case | Remarks |
12 Core | Rural fiber rollout, security camera systems, low-traffic FTTH links | Low capacity, cost-effective |
24 Core | Campus networks, mid-sized ISP backbones, industrial parks | Most popular model |
48 Core | Metropolitan networks, electric utility grids, 5G backhaul | High-density transmission |
Each core carries a single optical fiber, typically G.652D or G.657A1, supporting long-distance single-mode communication.
2. By Brand
Brand | Highlights |
AFL | U.S.-based, known for long-span and premium mechanical design |
Prysmian | European leader, UV-resistant and reliable cable lifespan |
Corning | High-grade optical fiber, stable performance in harsh conditions |
Zion Communication | Trusted OEM manufacturer in China, flexible customization for global markets |
3. By Structure
All-dielectric: Material missing that's metal, thus ok for areas near high-voltage.
Self-supporting: Concept to cover the distance of 100m-1000m in between the electrical towers.
Loose tube design: Fibers are safeguarded using gel or dry filler tubes.
Single or double sheath: Protective covering against UV, moisture, wind, and corrosion.
FRP Central Rod: This provides the longitudinal strength and is also anti-buckling.

■ ADSS Cable Installation & Accessories
ADSS cable installation makes use of the pole-to-pole or tower-to-tower spans, frequently requiring no other supporting wires. Their design allows:
Direct aerial installation
No metallic parts, and hence no possibility for an induced voltage or a grounding required.
Easy deployment even in high-voltage environments (up to 220kV)
Accessory | Purpose |
Suspension Clamp | Holds cable on straight poles while allowing movement |
Tension Clamp | Anchors cable at tension or termination points |
Armor Rod | Protects cable from compression and bending at clamp points |
Vibration Damper | Reduces Aeolian vibration caused by wind |
Down Lead Clamp | Guides cable down the pole neatly |
■ ADSS Cable Application Scenarios
5G and FTTH backbone lines
Power grid communication over 35–220kV lines
Oil, gas, mining, or railway transmission
Mountain or forest areas where trenching is challenging
Campus and Enterprise Interconnection
■ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How do I choose between 12, 24, and 48 cores?
A: Choosing depends on the scale of your network. For small links, the 12 cores are in sufficient size and for large backbone lines, the 12 and 24/48 cores are suited to both medium and large links.
Q2: What is the difference between PE and AT sheath?
A: PE (polyethylene) is for low-voltage installations (110kV) because it is made up of thermosetting material available for electrical tracking and surge.
Q3: What is the maximum span for ADSS cable?
A: Standard spans are in the range of 100m to 600m (with each component cables being several strands of fibers); however, custom designs can be 800–1200m in long spans to have better tensile featured and a larger outer diameter.
Q4: Can ADSS cable be buried?
A: Not advisable. Because ADSS cable is made for the aerial installation only. Choose duct cables or armored cables for underground installation.
Q5: What is the lifespan of ADSS cable?
A: 25–30 years, with the right installation and environmental suitability.
