All-Dielectric Self-Supporting Aerial Cable (ADSS)
Product Overview ADSS optical cable features a loose-tube stranded structure with non-metallic
central strength member (FRP) and high-tensile aramid yarns. Designed for aerial installation along
power transmission lines without requiring metallic messenger wires. Available in Single Sheath and
Double Sheath options with PE or Anti-Tracking (AT) outer sheath.
Key Features
Lightweight & Compact: Low wind and ice load on support towers.
Non-Metallic & Anti-Tracking: Immune to lightning and electrical tracking in high-voltage lines.
High Strength & Large Span: Supports long span lengths exceeding 1000 meters.
Live-Line Installation: Can be installed without power line shutdowns.
Long Service Life: Expected operational lifespan exceeding 30 years (-40°C to +70°C).

High-performance ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) optical fiber cable for high-voltage power lines and long-span telecommunication networks.
Yes. Huifiber supplies cable under the buyer's own brand as well as under the Huifiber brand. Fibre count, jacket material, jacket print, drum marking, drum length, packaging and datasheet layout can all be produced to the customer's requirement, and the engineering team can work from a customer specification or adapt an existing construction to a new route requirement.
Every production batch is tested before it leaves the plant in Dongguan. Attenuation and geometry are measured on OTDR and optical bench equipment, and mechanical performance is verified against the datasheet for the construction. A factory test report is issued with each shipment, so an incoming inspection can be checked against the same numbers.
Send the fibre count and fibre type, the jacket material or fire rating, the route length or span and the drum length you need, the destination port or country, and any certification or test-report requirement. With those details the sales engineer can confirm the construction and return a quotation with an indicative lead time.
