ADSS Fiber Optic Cables for Aerial Networks from ZION

ADSS cable is an all-dielectric, self-supporting fiber optic cable for aerial installation without a separate messenger wire. ZION ADSS options cover G.652.D single-mode designs, multiple fiber counts and span-specific versions. Choose by actual span and loading first, then confirm fiber count, PE or AT sheath, single or double jacket, sag and compatible fittings.

Which ADSS Cable Models Are Available?

The series includes 12 product entries, ranging from low-count 6/8/12-core options to a 96-core, 80 m span model. Several entries group multiple fiber counts, while the 12F, 48F and 96F products provide fixed 80 m span configurations. Always confirm the exact mechanical design for the route rather than selecting from fiber count alone.

12/24/48 Core ADSS

How Do I Select the Right ADSS Cable?

Start with the route, not the catalog code. Span, sag, wind, ice, temperature and the electrical environment determine the mechanical and sheath design; fiber count is selected after those constraints are understood.

Quick ADSS Model Comparison

Use fiber count and listed span to create a shortlist. The final cable still needs route-specific confirmation of sheath, diameter, weight, RTS, MAT, EDS, sag and fittings.

Single-Sheath or Double-Sheath ADSS?

Choose the sheath construction by mechanical exposure, span design and support limitations. A second jacket can add protection, but it also increases cable diameter, weight and cost, so it should solve a defined route condition rather than be selected automatically.

ADSS Construction and Engineering Reference

ADSS design balances optical-fiber strain, aramid-yarn strength, cable weight, wind, ice, sag, span and electrical exposure. The ranges below are category-level references, not guaranteed values for every model; the selected product data sheet and route calculation govern the final design.

What Do RTS, UTS, MAT and EDS Mean?

These tensile terms describe different load conditions, so they should not be treated as interchangeable. The percentages below are design references for this category; use the exact product data sheet and the project standard for acceptance.

Where Is ADSS Cable Used?

ADSS is used for self-supporting aerial optical links where a non-metallic cable is preferred. It is not an electrical ground wire, and it should not be treated as interchangeable with OPGW or ordinary messenger-supported aerial cable.

Accessories for ADSS Cables

The main ADSS accessory set includes eight hardware types for anchoring, suspension, routing and service-loop management. Every item must match cable diameter, tensile rating, span and support arrangement; hardware selected only by appearance can concentrate stress or violate bend-radius requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

RFQ Checklist

You do not need to calculate the final cable design before requesting a quote. Provide the route data below so the proposed ADSS construction and fittings can be checked together.

• Fiber type, fiber count and required spare capacity

• Nominal span, maximum span, route length, pole or tower arrangement and attachment height

• Wind speed, ice thickness, temperature range, sag and clearance requirements

• Power-line voltage and electric-field data at the suspension point

• PE or AT sheath preference and single- or double-jacket requirement

• Required RTS, MAT, EDS, cable diameter, weight and bend radius

• Suspension, tension and vibration-control fittings

• Drum length, quantity, printing, packaging, test reports and delivery documents
