ASU Cable 12 Core 100m Span

ASU Cable also called the mini adss cable which it is a alternatives with more affordable price ,used for fiber to the home (ftth project )as access approach cable .Because of the two FRP strength providing the good Mechanical performance The single loose tube design made the cable with lighter weight easy for installation So that it is getting more and more popular from the ISP company HDPE outer sheath make sure the cable with good anti uv performance when prolonged exposure to the sun,the cable wont get break.

1.Structure:

• All-Dielectric Design:
  • The cable is made entirely of non-metallic materials, which makes it immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and safe to install in proximity to high-voltage power lines.
• Central Strength Member:
  • A central strength member, often made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP), provides the tensile strength necessary to support the cable’s weight over long spans.
• Optical Fibers:
  • The optical fibers are housed within loose tubes, often filled with a water-blocking gel to protect against moisture ingress.
• Water-Blocking Materials:
  • The cable may include water-blocking tape or yarn to prevent water from reaching the optical fibers.
• Outer Sheath:
  • The outer sheath is typically made of UV-resistant polyethylene (PE), which provides protection against environmental factors like UV radiation, temperature changes, and moisture.

2. Characteristics:

• Self-Supporting:
  • The ASU cable is designed to support itself between poles or towers, eliminating the need for a separate support wire.
• All-Dielectric:
  • Being completely non-metallic, the cable is safe for installation in high-voltage environments and does not conduct electricity.
• High Tensile Strength:
  • The central strength member provides the necessary tensile strength for long-span aerial installations, ensuring the cable remains taut and stable.
• UV and Weather Resistant:
  • The outer sheath is resistant to UV radiation, moisture, and other environmental factors, ensuring long-term durability.

3. Applications:

• Telecommunications:
  • Used in long-distance telecommunications networks, particularly in areas where the cable must be suspended between poles or towers.
• Power Transmission Lines:
  • Commonly installed along high-voltage power lines due to its non-conductive properties.
• Rural and Remote Areas:
  • Ideal for connecting remote or rural areas where installing underground cables may be impractical or costly.
• Aerial Installations:
  • Designed for aerial installation, where the cable is strung between poles or towers without additional support.
