Aerial Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS)
Optical Fibre Cable Australia
AFLs ADSS cable is up to 72 optical fbres in jelly-flled loose tubes, laid up around a
central non-metallic strength member. The cable is water blocked, aramid yarn
reinforced and polyethylene sheathed. Surface printing for the cable includes
sequential length marking at one-metre intervals.
ADSS is a dry water-blocked, loose tube cable that was originally developed from
a military lightweight rugged deployable (LRD) feld cable. It is now principally used
for short span aerial installationstypically on roadside power distribution poles. It is
suitable for spans up to 250 m or more, depending upon installation conditions (see
examples at end). Since the ADSS cable is non-metallic, it is ideal for applications near
high-voltage power distribution lines for which it has become a standard.
This product is also suited to single-point suspension applications such as down mine
shafts or any application where the product has to support either a higher load than
conventional terrestrial cable or a permanent or varying tensile load that is applied
through the outer sheath. Standard pole-mounting hardware is readily available for this
product. Contact AFL for assistance with sag-tension calculations or other
application support.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

AERIAL DIELECTRIC SELF-SUPPORTING
(ADSS) OPTICAL FIBRE CABLE

OMM6**GA0

BK

Description:
Up to 72 optical fibres in jelly-filled loose tubes, laid up around a central non-metallic
strength member, water blocked, aramid yarn reinforced, and polyethylene sheathed.
Surface printing includes sequential length marking at one-metre intervals.

Applicable Specifications:
AS/ACIF S-008, AS 1049, AS3080, IEC 60793 and IEC 60794

Applications:
A dry water-blocked, loose tube cable originally developed from a military lightweight-
rugged-deployable (LRD) field cable, it is now principally used for short span aerial
installations - typically on roadside power distribution poles. It is suitable for spans
typically up to 250 m - or more depending upon installation conditions (see examples at
end). Being totally non-metallic it is ideal for applications in close proximity to high-voltage
power distribution lines, for which it has become a standard.
This product is also suited to single point suspension applications such as down mine
shafts or any application where the product has to support either a higher load than
conventional terrestrial cable or a permanent or varying tensile load, applied through the
outer sheath. Standard pole-mounting hardware is readily available for this product.
