The white paper explores the advantages and typical applications of single-jacket and double-jacket ADSS cable designs.
Increasing the fiber count in each individual buffer tube to 24 fibers reduces the size, weight, and cost of the ADSS cable.
Carlos Escobar, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Sales Manager for Utilites for AFL, elaborates on how the new configurations of the Flex-Span® ADSS cable benefit the customer.
Selecting the best bonding assembly configuration is dependent on proximity from the termination or suspension hardware to the support structure, terrain and wind conditions and tower hardware.
Flex-Span designs are optimized for a broader combination of fiber counts and span lengths, providing ADSS system designers more flexibility in their product selection.

AFL Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) applications and what type might be best for your project.
For more than 30 years, AFL has provided electric utilities with aerial cable systems that include OPGW and ADSS fiber optic cable plus associated attachment hardware.
When it comes to deploying aerial fiber optic cable there are several options, such as All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) cable, Optical Ground Wire (OPGW), lashed loose tube on a messenger...
This paper will further explore some of the advantages of using ADSS cable as opposed to a strand and lash fiber cable for aerial electric utility applications.
Given the remote location of the Andes Mountains and the pending winter months, AFL’s SkyWrap fibre optic cable solution was the ideal alternative for a quick and reliable communications installation.
AFL provides Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company with cost effective repair using its' Skywrap installation system without having to replace the OPGW cable itself.
