Long Span ADSS Cable

Long Span ADSS Cable
Product description

Prysmian’s Long Span ADSS version provides reliable self-support performance for up to 2,600 feet (800 meters). Each Long Span ADSS cable is custom-engineered for optimal placement on utility towers and to operate under full weather loads, ensuring safe, reliable, long-term performance. For installation on high-voltage lines up to 275 kV, an optional track-resistant jacket prevents dry-band arcing damage. Available up to 288 fibers, cables greater than 72 fibers utilize a 24 fiber per tube design to reduce environmental load (12 fibers per tube design is also available for fiber counts of 84-144).

Features and Benefits

Proven Long Span Installation & Use

  • Tailored designs span distances up to 2,600’ (800m) without interrupting power
  • Higher count designs utilize 24 fibers per tube to reduce diameter and environmental loading 

Easy Cable Entry & Preparation

  • Ripcord speeds cable entry & outer jacket removal
  • Swellable binders speed cable preparation
  • Available bend-insensitive single-mode fiber
  • 2.6 mm tube with 12 fibers per tube; 3.0 mm tube with 24 fibers per tube (with two 12 fiber binder groups) 

Reliable Lifetime Performance

  • Custom-engineered for operation under full load
  • Available with zero fiber strain at the maximum rated cable load (MRCL) or with a SafeStrain design limiting fiber strain to 0.20%
  • Guaranteed standards-based performance
