Corning single jacket ADSS cables for short span application 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 up to 100m in NESC light/medium conditions and 50m in NESC heavy conditions (see sag and tension chart for details).
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.
