Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable
FRP-Armored ADSS
FRP Rod Armored Self-Supporting Cable, 2-144 Fibers
All-dielectric aerial cable with rod-type FRP armor that deters rodents.
Overview
What this cable is built for.
This self-supporting aerial cable is fully non-metallic. Its rod-type FRP reinforcement layer protects the fibers from rodents: the armor is hard to bite through, and the glass fibers it releases when chewed discourage further attack.
Key features
- All-dielectric construction
- Rod-type FRP armor
- Rodent protection
- Self-supporting overhead installation
Applications
- Aerial self-supporting
- Rodent-prone routes
- All dielectric
