  • Does the ADSS fiber optic cable contain metal

    Does the ADSS fiber optic cable contain metal

    The principal feature of ADSS is that, unlike ordinary wires, it does not contain any metallic components; this makes it lighter, self-supporting, and electric-field-resistant. ADSS fiber optic cable structure is currently. AFL-ADSS® (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cable is a non-metallic cable which supports its own weight without the use of lashing wires or messenger cables. The result is that they can be hung in a straight line between poles or towers with no additional metallic. Oftentimes, traditional optical cables with metal reinforcement are subject to high-voltage threats in such environments. These risks include, among others, electrical interference, hazards posed during installation, and future maintenance issues.
