Self-Supporting Aerial Cable (ADSS) for High Voltage Power Lines – Long Span & Anti-Tracking Design

Self-Supporting Aerial Cable (ADSS) is for high-voltage power lines. It can be installed without a power shutdown.

The cable features an AT sheath for superior anti-tracking performance. 

Lightweight design minimizes load from ice and wind.

ADSS

• Can be installed without power failure
  
  
• Adopt AT sheath, excellent anti-tracking performance
  
  
• Light weight and small cable diameter reduce the impact of ice and wind and the load on towers and supports
  
  
• Large span, the maximum span exceeds 1000m
  
  
• Excellent tensile strength and temperature characteristics
  
  
• Expected life span can reach 30 years

Product Application

The design of ADSS optical cable fully considers the actual situation of power lines and is suitable for high-voltage transmission lines of different levels.

For 10kV and 35kV power lines, polyethylene (PE) sheath can be used.

For 110kV and 220kV power lines, the optical cable hanging point must be determined by calculating the electric field strength distribution and anti-tracking (AT) outer sheath must be used.

At the same time, the amount of aramid and the perfect twisting process are carefully designed to meet the application requirements of different spans.

Product Standard

ADSS optical cable follows the IEEE P 1222 technical standard and meets the IEC 60794-1 standard.
