To compare ADSS fiber optic cable core counts and span specifications, evaluate your current bandwidth needs alongside projected growth, match tensile strength and aramid yarn volume to your actual span distance and environmental loads, and verify supplier material quality. To compare ADSS fiber optic cable core counts and span specifications, evaluate your current bandwidth needs alongside projected growth, match tensile strength and aramid yarn volume to your actual span distance and environmental loads, and verify supplier material quality. ADSS means All-Dielectric Self-Supporting fiber optic cable. It is designed for aerial installation without a metallic messenger wire. Because the cable supports itself between poles or towers, mechanical design is a core part of product selection. A simple request such as “ADSS 24 core cable” is. ADSS means All-Dielectric Self-Supporting fiber optic cable. The economical single-jacket design can span distances of 800 ft in NESC light conditions, 650 ft in NESC medium con cient and craft-friendly cable preparation.
