Unlike traditional fiber optic cables that require metal support or additional hardware, ADSS cables are designed to support themselves. ADSS cables are made entirely of non-metallic materials, which means they don't conduct electricity. It is used by electrical utility companies as a communications medium, installed along existing overhead transmission. In the realm of aerial fiber optic infrastructure—where cables must withstand harsh weather, high voltages, and mechanical stress— ADSS (All Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cables stand out as a game-changer. AFL-ADSS® (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable is ideal for installation in distribution as well as transmission environments. ADSS Cables (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting Cables) are a specialized type of fiber optic cable designed for aerial installation without metallic components.
