ADSS Power Guide Short Span, double sheath, non-metallic, 4 x 12F AW 48 Core

PowerGuide ShortSpan DT Cable offers an outstanding, totally gel-free solution for short aerial cable spans ranging up to 1,150 feet (350 meters)*, including distribution networks and duct installations. Featuring one of the world’s smallest ADSS cable diameters, ShortSpan DT Cable is lightweight and easy to handle, saving time and money on installation. This cable’s compact size and small bend radius make it easy to use in aerial-to-underground installations.

Design

Our proven loose tube design is at the heart of our PowerGuide ShortSpan DT Cable. The optical fibres are placed within colour-coded, gel-free buffer tubes to protect the fibres from mechanical and environmental forces. The buffer tubes are then stranded around a dielectric central member using the reverse oscillating lay (ROL) stranding technique. Unlike other methods, ROL makes it easy to “untwist” the buffer tubes and gain quick, mid-span access. Next, DryBlock water-blocking material is applied, and aramid strength elements are placed over the cable core. In the final step, a robust polyethylene outer jacket is applied to complete the construction of a light-weight, durable cable that is easy to handle and install.
