The ASU series fiber optic cable represents a specialized all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) solution designed for aerial deployment in power transmission environments. This non-metallic cable combines advanced materials and engineering to deliver reliable communication performance in demanding overhead applications.
Engineered with G652D optical fibers, the cable maintains excellent transmission characteristics while the FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) strength member provides the necessary tensile support without metallic components. The HDPE outer sheath offers superior protection against UV radiation, moisture, and temperature extremes.
Key advantages include electromagnetic interference immunity, reduced installation costs through shared power line routes, and maintenance-free operation. The compact design minimizes wind loading while the pre-stripped construction simplifies field splicing procedures.
Available in core counts from 2 to 24, the ASU cable series meets international standards including IEC 60794-1 and YD/T901-2009. The product range includes ASU80, ASU100, and ASU120 variants to accommodate different span requirements and environmental conditions.
Typical applications include: SCADA system connectivity along high-voltage transmission lines, communication networks in lightning-prone areas, long-distance aerial fiber routes, and urban FTTx deployments utilizing existing power infrastructure.
