Allowable Attenuation Values for AdSS Optical Cables - HHC Networks & Smart City Solutions [PDF]
AFL-ADSS® (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable is ideal for installation in distribution as well as transmission environments, even when live-line installations are required.
The maximum allowable tension of the ADSS is theoretically calculated using the weather conditions designed for the tension to which the fiber optic cable is subjected during full load.
The loose tube design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber. The economical single-jacket design can span
Low, stable loss performance in the 1360 1460 nm E-band, enabling 16-channel CWDM, DWDM, and FTTX support on a single fibre Comprised of high purity synthetic silica for long-term attenuation
The mechanical and environmental performance of the cable are in accordance with the following table. Unless otherwise specified, all attenuation measurements required in this section shall be performed
Refers to the tension on the optical cable when the total load is calculated theoretically under the design weather conditions. Under this tension, the fiber strain should be ≤0.05% (stranded) and ≤0.1%
The mechanical and environmental performance of the cable shall be in accordance with table 5. All attenuation measurements required in this section shall be performed at 1550 nm.

The cable contains 12, 24, or 48 optical fibers within loose tubes, with fiber counts up to 12 per tube. It lists requirements such as maximum attenuation, chromatic dispersion, and proof test levels for the
The outer surface of the cable shall be marked with white characters at intervals of one meter with the following information. Other marking is also available upon request.
