ADSS CABLE HARDWARE AND ACCESSORIES

For aerial fiber optic applications in electrically hazardous environments it is recommended to use ADSS (All-Dielectric Self Supporting) cable. ADSS fiber cable contains an aramid strength member eliminating the need to lash to a messenger. There are two types of hardware to attach ADSS fiber optic cable to a pole; dead ends and support brackets (see diagram below).

ADSS Support Bracket

The Support Bracket is used to support ADSS fiber optic cable on mid-span poles. The bracket is installed by simply bolting to pole.

ADSS Dead End Support

The is used for riser poles, or two dead ends can be used for mid-span poles with more than *5 degrees of bend in the cable span direction. Ram hook hardware included with each dead end.

ADSS Mid-Span Storage Bracket

ADSS mid-span storage brackets eliminate the need for slack storage vaults and allow for ADSS slack to be stored aerially. The brackets also act as a safeguard, protecting the minimum bend radius of the fiber cable.
