This new AFL white paper, “Leveraging ADSS Cable Technology in Utility FTTx Networks,” details the advantages of using all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cable technology in FTTx solutions. ADSS cable supports a variety of installations of fiber optic cable solutions and can span pole-to-pole without the need for a messenger wire. With this technology, installers do not have to worry about overhead lines, thus eliminating safety concerns that come with grounding. The paper outlines an example of the cost difference between two key types of aerial fiber optic cable solutions, ADSS and lashed cable, and why AFL recommends ADSS cable. Checkout the website for AFL’s full line of ADSS cables’ features and applications.
