What is ADSS Cables?
All-dielectric Self-supporting (ADSS) cable is a type of fiber optic cable that is strong enough to support itself between structures without using conductive metal elements.The cable is designed for aerial transmission and distribution power lines environments. As its name indicates, there are no metallic components and the cable does not require a support or messenger wire, so installation is achieved in a single pass.
ADSS cable structure is mainly composed of central strength member, stranded loose tube, water blocking material, aramid yarn, and sheath. ADSS cable structure consists of 2 types:
single jacket and
double jacket.
What is OPGW Cables?
Optical ground wire (OPGW), also known as optical fiber composite overhead ground wire is a dual-functioning cable performing the duties of a ground wire and also providing a path for the transmission of voice, video, or data signals.The cable is designed to be installed on transmission and distribution lines. The fibers are protected from environmental conditions (lightning, short circuit, loading) to ensure the reliability of signal transmission.
OPGW cable structure is mainly composed of an optical fiber unit (stainless steel tube, aluminum-clad stainless steel tube) , and metal mono-filament (aluminum-clad steel, aluminum alloy) peripheral reinforcement. There are 4 OPGW cable types: ACS (Aluminum clad stainless steel tube), stranded tube, central tube, and ACP (Aluminum clad PBT).
ApplicationsOPGW cable is used in the electric utility industry, transmission and distribution of power lines ( i.e., 500KV, 220KV, 110KV voltage grade lines), voice, video, data transmission, SCADA networks, ariel ground wires, and dark fiber leasing.
ADSS cable is used for telecommunications by power utilities, telcos, and private network groups, distribution and high voltage transmission lines, conductors, outdoor aerial self-supporting installation, enterprise OSP networks, broadband, FTTX networks, railways, long-distance communication, CATV, CCTV, computer networks system, ethernet LAN Network, outside plant campus backbone, etc.
Installation Cost
The installation cost of OPGW cable is relatively high, and a lot of money needs to be invested at one time; while the installation cost of ADSS cable is relatively low, because it does not need to replace the electrical transmission line, and can also achieve free switching.
