ADSS Cable
ADSS cable offers its users several unique capabilities, and Pirelli ADSS cable is designed specifically with user needs in mind.
ADSS cable is designed to be installed along existing aerial utility pole pathways, allowing the user easier access to rights of way than with standard or buried or lashed applications. It is designed and tested to meet draft IEEE P1222 specifications, the pending industry standard. A full variety of utility hardware is available with this product.
ADSS' all dielectric design allows the cable to be installed in the Supply region of the utility pole, utilizing previously unused space on the pole.
Because ADSS cable is self-supporting, installation is faster and easier than with previous aerial designs, such as Figure 8. Using standard utility hardware, the installation becomes more cost efficient and easier than with other designs.
Pirelli ADSS cable is designed to meet the distribution applications of most of its customers. It is available in fiber counts up to 144 fibers, in single-mode, multi-mode, nor non-zero dispersion -shifted fiber.
