ADSS optical cable alone overhead
It is used by electrical utility companies as a communications medium, installed along existing overhead transmission lines and often sharing the same support structures as the electrical conductors. ADSS is an alternative to OPGW and OPAC with lower installation cost. 1 The structure of ADSS optical cable ADSS is the abbreviation of All Dielectric Self-Supporting aerial optical cable in English, which means "all-dielectric self-supporting optical cable", and its structure does not contain any metal materials. As a pioneer in optical communication, Gcabling provides ADSS and Mini ADSS cables engineered for overhead. It is a very economical way of laying optical cables by using aerial power line corridors to overheand laying on line pole.
