Corning single jacket ADSS cables for medium span applications are all-dielectric, self-supporting (ADSS) cables designed for easy and economical one-step installation in campus backbones with self-supporting installations where metallic messengers cannot be used. The loose tube design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber. The economical single-jacket design can span distances of 100m in NESC heavy conditions, 150m in NESC medium conditions and 200m in NESC light conditions.
This cable incorporates innovative waterblocking materials, eliminating the need for traditional flooding compound and providing efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation. While the concentric, self-supporting cable design allows easy, one-step installation using standard hardware and installation methods, the SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates optical fibres from installation and environmental rigors and facilitates mid-span access. These ADSS optical cables are available with HDPE jacket for installation in telecom applications.
