ADSS short-span cables are all-dielec-
tric, self-supporting (ADSS) cables designed for easy and
economical one-step installation in campus backbones
with self-supporting installations where metallic messen-
gers cannot be used. The loose tube design provides
stable performance over a wide temperature range and
is compatible with any telecommunications-grade opti-
cal fiber. The economical single-jacket design can span
distances up to 600 ft in NESC light conditions, 500 ft in
NESC medium conditions and 300 ft in NESC heavy con-
ditions (see sag and tension chart for details).
This cable incorporates innovative waterblocking mate-
rials, eliminating the need for traditional flooding com-
pound and providing efficient and craft-friendly cable
preparation. While the concentric, self-supporting cable
design allows easy, one-step installation using standard
hardware and installation methods, the SZ-stranded,
loose tube design isolates optical fibers from installation
and environmental rigors and facilitates mid-span access.
The ADSS optical cables are also available with a propri-
etary track-resistant polyethylene (TRPE) jacket suitable
for installation in electric field potentials up to 25 kV.
