ADSS Cable Specification | Single & Double Sheath ADSS Fiber Optic Cable

ZION Communication has two types of ADSS cable designs on offer:

• ✔ ADSS-SS (Single Sheath) – Span 80m–150m
  Lower span and lower cost. Light construction. Suitable for MV lines.

• ✔ ADSS-DS (Double Sheath) – Span 200m–400m
  Double sheath for high strength. All weather conditions. Suitable for Shorter spans along or near HV lines.

Both types of cable can be offered in a variety of fiber counts and core constructions and are available with a custom MAT (Maximum Allowable Tension).

Key Advantages

• Light weight, small size

• Short to Medium span capability

• Suitable for Medium voltage (≤110kV)

• Economical, lightweight and flexible design

Key Advantages

• Increased Mechanical Strength for long spans

• Excellent UV / weatherability performance

• Suitable for High voltage lines (>110kV)

• Double shield for increased durability

Common Features (SS & DS)

• ✔ All dielectric, can be used near HV lines

• ✔ Semi-dry design for flexibility and inter-route tracking

• ✔ Excellent Mechanical Tension capabilities

• ✔ Suitable for long-term aerial installation use

ADSS-SS (Single Sheath)

• Span: 80m – marginal 150m

• Uses: Near Powerline with Medium Voltage (≤110kV)

• Application: Urban, rural, city distribution and Telecommunication Networks

• Installation: Aerial cable, prefer light structures

ADSS-DS (Double Sheath)

• Span: marginal 200m – 400m

• Uses: Near Powerline with High Voltage (>110kV)

• Application: HV Long-span Installation in challenges terrains (River, Valley etc) with severe Weather (Wind, UV, heavy Rain etc.)

Use ADSS-SS (Single Sheath) when:

• Span is ≤ 150m

• Applications include MV lines (≤110kV)

• Prefer light cable design

• Economical consideration

Use ADSS-DS (Double Sheath) when:

• Span is ≥ 200m

• Applications include HV lines (>110kV)

• Wind / UV exposure / Challenging Environment

• Long-span applications

ZION Communication offers ADSS cables for Aerial Installation in Power and Telecommunications Applications with assured long service life and reliability.

ADSS-SS (Single Sheath) & ADSS-DS (Double Sheath) offer purpose-driven solutions for installation over a range of span, voltage, structure types, fiber counts and tensile load requirements.
