FRP-Armored ADSS detail

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
