The principal feature of ADSS is that, unlike ordinary wires, it does not contain any metallic components; this makes it lighter, self-supporting, and electric-field-resistant. ADSS fiber optic cable structure is currently. AFL-ADSS® (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cable is a non-metallic cable which supports its own weight without the use of lashing wires or messenger cables. The result is that they can be hung in a straight line between poles or towers with no additional metallic. Oftentimes, traditional optical cables with metal reinforcement are subject to high-voltage threats in such environments. These risks include, among others, electrical interference, hazards posed during installation, and future maintenance issues. ADSS cable, All-dielectric Self-supporting Optical Cable (also known as All-dielectric self-supporting fiber optic cable).
