Aerial Cable ADSS-100m-nB1.3

All Dielectric Self Supporting (ADSS) cable is a kind of combined optical cable made by winding the optical fiber bundle on the central strength member, after insulation, waterproof, reinforcement, sheath, and other protective measures. ADSS optic cable is mainly installed on the existing 220kV or lower power line. Layer or central tube design. Ar amid yarn is used as a strength component to enhance tensile and strain properties. The outer sheath can be divided into PE and tracking resistance PE to correspond to space potentials lower than and greater than 12kV. Hunan GL' ADSS fiber cable has the characteristics of full dielectric, no metal, non-conductivity, small cable diameter, high tensile force, low linear expansion coefficient, and wide temperature adaptation.
