This “All Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS)” cable is designed for short, medium and long distance aerial self-supporting applications. ADSS cable provides a fast and economical deployment method for cable TV operators, telephone companies and electric utilities. It is suitable for medium and short span conditions or complex terrain such as crossing rivers and mountains in power transmission systems. Description The cable consists of 5 to 36 bundles of wires with tubes or fillers, which are twisted together in up to 3 layers around a central strength member and fixed with a PE outer sheath. Each tube contains 6 to 12 fibers. All core fibers are filled with water-blocking glue. The filler can be used to maintain the geometry of the cable. The water-swellable tape is spirally wrapped around the cable core. Aramid yarns are placed in a spiral manner to provide peripheral reinforcement for t
