Corning SOLO® ADSS short-span cables are all-dielectric,
self-supporting (ADSS) cables designed for easy and
economical one-step installation in campus backbones with
self-supporting installations where metallic messengers
cannot be used. 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
distances up to 600 ft in NESC light conditions, 500 ft in
NESC medium conditions and 300 ft in NESC heavy
conditions (see sag and tension chart for details).
This cable incorporates innovative waterblocking materials,
eliminating the need for traditional flooding compound and
providing efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation.
While the concentric, self-supporting cable design allows
easy, one-step installation using standard hardware and
installation methods, the SZ-stranded, loose tube design
isolates optical fibers from installation and environmental
rigors and facilitates mid-span access. The ADSS optical
cables are also available with a proprietary track-resistant
polyethylene (TRPE) jacket suitable for installation in
electric field potentials up to 25 kV. Features and Benefits
