ADSS Optical Cable Parameter Table

ADSS optical cables are designed for aerial installation with self-supporting strength, featuring key parameters such as tensile strength, maximum allowable tension, fiber type, and environmental tolerances.

Key Technical Parameters

ParameterTypical Values / Description
Fiber TypeSingle-mode ITU-T G.652D
Fiber CountVaries (commonly 12–48 cores, customizable)
Cable StructureLoose tube with waterproof compound, aramid yarns for tensile strength, UV-resistant HDPE outer sheath
Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS/RTS)Calculated breaking strength; actual breaking force ≥95% of calculated value; safety factor considered (MAT ≈ 40% RTS)
Maximum Allowable Tension (MAT)Maximum tension the cable can withstand during installation or long-term operation; typically 40–60% of RTS
Maximum Installation Tension (MIT/TL)Maximum tension during installation; ensures no non-reversible damage to fibers
Thermal Elongation Coefficient (CTE)Coefficient of thermal expansion for cable materials; affects sag and tension under temperature changes
Operating TemperatureTypically -40°C to +70°C
Short-term LoadingCable can tolerate temporary overloads; fiber strain should remain within elastic limits
Pole Span / Maximum Span LengthUsually 50–400 m depending on cable weight and tension; long spans may exceed 1 km with proper design
Sag CharacteristicsInitial sag and tension calculated based on span, weight, and environmental conditions
Water TightnessDry core with water-swellable materials to prevent water ingress
Outer SheathUV-resistant HDPE, black color standard
Mechanical ProtectionAramid yarns and glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) for peripheral strength
AttenuationMeasured at 1550 nm; additional attenuation ≤0.1 dB under short-term load
Service LifeDesigned for 25 years under typical environmental conditions
Color CodingFibers identifiable by standard color sequence; tube color usually natural

Notes on Installation and Performance

  • ADSS cables are self-supporting, eliminating the need for metallic support structures.
  • Tension management is critical: excessive tension can cause fiber attenuation, while too low tension may increase sag.
  • Environmental factors such as wind, ice, and temperature fluctuations must be considered in span and sag calculations.
  • Section length typically ranges from 50 to 100 meters, depending on fiber count and cable weight. Longer spans require careful tension and sag design.
  • Compliance: ADSS cables follow ITU-T, IEC, and EIA recommendations for optical performance and mechanical reliability . This table provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanical, optical, and environmental parameters essential for the design, selection, and installation of ADSS optical cables.
