When installing ADSS optical cables, you need various hardware fittings including ADSS tension (or anchor) clamps for securing the cable to terminal and tension towers, ADSS suspension clamps for supporting the cable along spans, pole brackets and fastening straps for attaching. When installing ADSS optical cables, you need various hardware fittings including ADSS tension (or anchor) clamps for securing the cable to terminal and tension towers, ADSS suspension clamps for supporting the cable along spans, pole brackets and fastening straps for attaching. ADSS cable accessories are simply fittings that are used to fix the ADSS cables to the poles so that the cables can perform their duties as required. Since there are many different types of ADSS cable accessories each one of them is designed to perform different roles on the cable. ADSS Suspension Clamps are used to support ADSS fiber optic cables on poles by allowing safe hanging with controlled grip and minimal stress. Our AFL product line consists of fiber optic cable, optical connectivity, fusion splicers, and test equipment, as well as fiber management systems, closures, and accessories. Here at. This guide provides general recommendations for the selection of methods, equipment, and tools for the stringing of ADSS (All Dielectric Self-upporting) fiber optic cables including short and Long Span ADSS cables. The installation methods for ADSS cables are essentially the same as those used for. ADSS cable hardware must support mechanical loads, protect fiber cores, and remain durable against environmental stresses. I suggest using properly rated clamps, brackets, and fittings.
