Application
Backbone network: connects large data centers and switching centers, transmitting high-capacity data.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): covers urban areas, connecting different administrative districts and business centers.
Access network: extends fiber optic cables to user areas, achieving "fiber to the home" (FTTH).
Underground ducts: installed in underground conduits, providing a secure and reliable communication link.
Tunnels: installed inside tunnels for communication along railway and metro lines.
Non-self-supporting aerial cables: installed on utility poles but do not support their own weight directly; they often share poles with power or communication lines.
Features
There is a central loose tube filled with a water-resistant gel to provide the best possible protection for the fiber.
Steel and polyethylene sheath: this feature increases the cable's strength and moisture resistance.
For metallic strength members, two wires are placed in parallel on each side of the cable to contribute to its excellent strength.
The outermost layer is usually PSP armor (polyethylene-coated steel tape), which provides waterproofing and crush resistance.
The outer sheath is made of polyethylene (PE) and can withstand harsh outdoor weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this cable suitable for aerial self-supporting installation?
A: Yes. ADSS cables are designed for self-supporting aerial installation without a messenger wire. Other outdoor cable types (GYTS, GYTA, GYTA53, etc.) suit duct, conduit or direct-buried installation depending on armor and sheath configuration.
Q: What fiber counts and types are available?
A: Typically from 2 to 288 fibers, with G.652D, G.657A1/A2 or G.655 options. Custom fiber counts and specifications can be supplied per project design.
Q: Can armor, sheath and strength members be customized?
A: Yes. Options include steel tape armor (GYTA53/GYTY53), steel wire armor (GYTS), non-armored designs, LSZH or PE sheaths, and different strength member arrangements based on your installation environment.
Q: Are test reports provided with the cable?
A: Yes, every batch is factory tested for fiber attenuation, tensile and sheath performance per relevant ITU-T standards, and test reports can be provided on request.
Q: What certifications do your cables hold?
A: Our production is ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified, and products are CE and RoHS compliant.
