ADSS 12F / 24F / 48F / 72F / 96F / 144F 100m Span All-Dry Self-Supporting Aerial Fiber Optic Cable

ADSS

Product summary

This BWNFiber record covers 12F, 24F, 48F, 72F, 96F and 144F G.652.D all-dry ADSS configurations with an HDPE sheath and a listed 100 m span input. Use the count-specific row for diameter, approximate weight and MAT. The 100 m value is a design input from the source record, not approval for every route. Confirm span, wind, ice, temperature, sag, attachment position and hardware with the responsible route engineer.

Model identity: ADSS — exact SKU/construction TBC — source required. The former “48F 4,000 / 1,050 Mechanical Variant” wording is not used as a model name because those values are packing fields, not mechanical ratings.

Key features

• Fiber counts: 12F / 24F / 48F / 72F / 96F / 144F
• Fiber type: G.652.D (source confirmation required before release)
• Structure: all-dry, self-supporting aerial cable (source terminology)
• Central strength member: FRP
• Sheath: HDPE, black, listed 1.7 mm thickness
• Listed span input: 100 m; wind 30 m/s; ice 0 mm (design basis TBC)
• Bare cable record: connectors and terminations are not specified; confirm BOM before quotation

Configuration and cable construction

Engineering check required: confirm that each row is aligned to the source table and define MAT, units and design basis. Do not substitute MAT for RTS, maximum pulling force or a route approval.

Optical characteristics

The supplied record lists the following values, but the source formatting must be confirmed before publication:

These are cable-fiber values, not a complete link-loss allowance including connectors, splices, patching or equipment.

Environmental and route conditions

The cable, sag-tension calculation, attachment position and hardware should be approved as one installed system. Do not infer suitability for a power-line voltage, clearance or span from the ADSS label alone.

How to select a configuration

1. Choose one fiber count: 12F, 24F, 48F, 72F, 96F or 144F.
2. Use the matching row for diameter, weight and MAT; never combine values across rows.
3. Confirm route spans, wind, ice, temperature, sag, attachment points and clearances.
4. Confirm hardware interface and whether the quotation is for bare cable only.
5. Request the approved datasheet/drawing and any project test or acceptance requirements.

Differences from related products

This draft must not claim a unique product difference from P050 until engineering confirms one. If the records are the same construction, merge this data into the canonical 100 m ADSS page. If they are different, add the approved differentiator here (for example, an exact SKU, construction code or validated source-row distinction).

Applications and limits

Potential fit: self-supporting aerial telecom routes where the exact cable and hardware are engineered for the route.

Not established by this record: underground, duct, direct-buried or terminated-assembly compatibility; power-line voltage suitability; certification; warranty; project experience; price, MOQ, stock or lead time.

Testing and quality control

TBC — source required. No P054 test report, test method, acceptance limit, certification or QA record was supplied in the review package. do not use for order release factory-test or standards-compliance claims until the approved document and exact configuration are linked.

Packaging and procurement

The 48C drum length and flange dimension are packaging values. They must not appear in a mechanical-variant product name or be described as tensile, crush, MAT or RTS ratings.

RFQ checklist

Send:

• selected fiber count and G.652.D requirement;
• total cable length and required length per drum;
• quantity of drums;
• route span, wind, ice and installation temperature;
• cable marking text;
• delivery destination;
• required drawing, datasheet, test or acceptance documents;
• hardware/interface requirements, if applicable.

CTA: Request an ADSS configuration review and quotation. The request should be checked against one exact count/configuration before pricing.

Documents

• Datasheet: TBC — approved upload target required
• Drawing: TBC — approved upload target required
• Test report: TBC — approved upload target required

Which fiber counts are covered?

The source record lists 12F, 24F, 48F, 72F, 96F and 144F. Use one count-specific row for the cable dimensions and mechanical value.

Are 4,000 m and 1,050 mm mechanical ratings?

No. In the source record they are drum length and flange dimension for the 48C packing row. They are not tensile, crush, MAT or RTS ratings.

Does 100 m mean every route can use this cable?

No. It is a listed design input. The actual route still requires span, wind, ice, temperature, sag, attachment and hardware review.

Does the record include connectors?

No connector or termination is specified. Treat this as a bare-cable record until the BOM confirms otherwise.

What attenuation is listed?

The record lists 0.36 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.22 dB/km at 1550 nm, subject to confirmation of maximum/tolerance notation. These values do not represent complete installed-link loss.

What should be included in an RFQ?

Provide the selected count, total and per-drum length, drum quantity, route conditions, marking, destination and required documents. Ask BWNFiber to confirm the exact configuration before quotation.
