Overhead optical cables are suitable for overhead wires such as telephone poles. They are classified into Figure 8 type, ADSS, and Lashing type products according to overhead environment. A variety of structures is feasible according to usage environment and customer needs.
Types and purposes
• F8 type
– Self-supporting overhead wire cable
– Long-distance transmission and subscriber network, broadband network
• ADSS (All Dielectric Self-Supporting)
– Non-metal self-supporting overhead wire cable
– Long-distance transmission and subscriber network, broadband network
• Lashing type
– Overhead wire cable routed through a separate messenger wire
– Long-distance transmission and subscriber network, broadband network
Benefits
• F8 type
– The cable includes a self-supporting wire, enabling easy routing and cost reduction
• ADSS
– Easy routing and suitable for all overhead wires
– Non-metal structure, enabling routing with power lines
– Cable protection through an anti-tracking material, which is applied to the cable jacket and ultra-high-voltage lines
• Lashing type
– Routing for a wide variety of cables is feasible, using messenger wires
Main functions
• F8 type
– Applicable to multiple core optical fibers
– Armored with metal tape and flat FRP for protection against hot weather
• ADSS
– Applicable to multiple core optical fibers
– Can be armored on demand with metal tape and flat FRP for protection against hot weather
– Lightweight cables and easy routing through PP tubes and white low-density jelly (PFMTM jelly)
– App-dry structure with no jelly filling on the tube and cable core is applicable
• Lashing type
– Applicable to multiple core optical fibers
– Applicable to various structures according to usage environment and customer needs
