This article will analyze the differences between ADSS optical cables and traditional optical cables from multiple perspectives.
1. Differences in materials and structures
·ADSS optical cable
Full dielectric design: does not contain metal components (such as steel wire or copper cable), uses aramid fiber or FRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) as tensile components to avoid lightning risks and electromagnetic interference.
Sheath material: HDPE (high-density polyethylene) or AT (anti-tracking) sheath, UV-resistant and chemical-resistant, applicable temperature range up to -40°C to +70°C.

·Traditional optical cables
Metal reinforcements: rely on metal (such as steel wire) to improve mechanical strength, pose a risk of electromagnetic interference, and require additional insulation protection.
2. Comparison of core performance parameters
Parameter |
ADSS Cable |
Traditional Fiber Optic Cable |
|---|---|---|
Tensile Strength |
25 kN (Supports spans up to 1,500 meters) |
≤15 kN (Requires external support) |
EMC Compliance |
Fully insulated, immune to EMI |
Susceptible to EMI; requires shielding |
Installation Efficiency |
No messenger wire needed; 30% faster deployment |
Time-consuming ground laying or duct installation |
Environmental Resistance |
Salt spray (ISO 9227), UV-resistant, anti-corrosion |
Requires protective conduits for moisture/corrosion |
3. Economic efficiency and application scenarios
·Cost-effectiveness
ADSS optical cable: saves 20%~40% installation cost (no metal support structure required), low maintenance cost, lifespan ≥25 years.
Traditional optical cable: requires additional protection and support, and has high long-term maintenance cost.
·Typical applications
ADSS optical cable:
Power system: 110kV~220kV high-voltage line communication, smart grid monitoring.
Harsh environment: coastal areas (salt spray resistance), mountainous areas (wind vibration resistance design).
Traditional optical cables:
Metropolitan area network/data center: short-distance high-speed transmission, requiring underground or pipeline protection.
4. Certification and reliability
ADSS optical cables are certified by IEC 60794-4 (mechanical/thermal performance test) and IEEE 1138-2009 (anti-tracking design), ensuring stable operation under high voltage electric fields.
Conclusion
Based on industry standards and measured data, this article combines the technical advantages and scenario adaptability of ADSS optical cables to provide selection references for power, communication and smart city projects. If customized parameters (such as 96~288 core configurations) are required, please consult professional manufacturer AOPTKE CABLE to obtain span calculations and certification reports.
