ADSS Fiber Optic Cable 12–144 Core — Span/Tension Chart, Specs, Price & Lead Time | OEM/ODM
Looking for a utility-grade, dielectric aerial cable you can hang directly on poles—without metallic mess or live-line safety risks? SOCTFiber’s ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cables cover 12–144 cores, built for power utilities, ISPs and private networks that demand reliable long-span performance and fast delivery.
Why ADSS from SOCTFiber
- Dielectric & self-supporting: safe around MV corridors and high-EMI environments; no messenger wire required.
- Real span options: short/medium spans for access routes, medium spans for distribution, and engineered long-span options for special crossings.
- Outdoor-ready jackets: UV- and corrosion-resistant HDPE; single or double-jacket structures for harsh climates.
- End-to-end FTTx kit: pair with outdoor IP65/IP68 distribution/termination boxes and PLC splitters from the same supplier.
- Lead time you can plan on: typical production about 5–15 days for ~200 km, depending on structure and order size.
Quick Span & Tension Reference
| Use case | Typical span window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Access/FTTx laterals (short-span ADSS) | 80–120 m | Compact build for dense areas and short pole intervals. |
| Distribution routes (single-jacket ADSS) | ~100–200 m | Cost-effective aerial access; anti-rodent options available. |
| Challenging crossings (double-jacket ADSS) | ~600 m | Higher UV/temperature/wind abrasion resistance. |
| Special long spans (engineered) | up to ~1,400 m | Requires route calculation and hardware matching. |

Construction & Optical Options
- Fiber types: Single-mode OS2 (9/125, low-water-peak); bend-insensitive G.657 options for tight routing.
- Core counts: 12 / 24 / 48 / 72 / 96 / 144F for access and backbone.
- Strength system: Dielectric central/stranded members with aramid yarn for tensile load.
- Jacket: Single or double HDPE sheath for UV and abrasion resistance; coastal-grade compounds available.
- Protection options: Anti-rodent structures for wildlife-heavy or agricultural corridors.
Accessory & Box Pairing (Turnkey OSP/FTTx)
- Pole hardware: dead-ends, suspensions, dampers and spacers sized to your span class (supplied with the sag/tension set).
- Distribution/termination: IP65/IP68 wall/pole boxes (e.g., 8/16/24 ports) with splitter trays; supports SC/APC or LC/UPC layouts.
- Drop to premise: Self-supporting outdoor drop cables (e.g., GJYXCH/GJYXFCH) and indoor LSZH drops for the last mile.
- Passive optics: PLC splitters (1×2…1×64) pre-terminated or field-terminated to match your topology.
Typical Specification Snapshot (ADSS)
- Span class: 80–200 m (access/distribution); engineered options to 600 m and beyond for special routes.
- Tensile elements: aramid yarn system, dielectric design (no metal).
- Jacket: HDPE, black; single/double sheath choices.
- Fiber: OS2 9/125; 12–144 cores available.
- Environment: outdoor aerial, UV-resistant; temperature range suitable for utility corridors.
Pricing, MOQ & Lead Time
- Lead time:
- Reference case: ~200 km in about 5–15 days (make-to-order; actual schedule depends on fiber count, jacket type and accessories).
- MOQ: quoted by structure and total kilometers; sample lengths available for qualification.
- Pricing: depends on fiber count, span class, jacket (single/double), armor/rodent-proofing, and total kilometers. Request EXW/FOB/CIF options with your destination.
