ASU High-Quality Cable
Product Overview
ASU High-Quality Cable, is a compact fiber optic cable engineered for aerial deployment without messenger wires. The cable features 250μm fibers positioned within high-modulus PBT loose tubes, reinforced by two FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) strength members, and sheathed with HDPE or anti-tracking (AT) polyethylene . This all-dielectric construction-containing zero metal components-makes it an ideal solution for overhead installations where electromagnetic interference and lightning risks are concerns .
Key Applications
FTTx Last-Mile Access: Ideal for the final overhead segment from distribution points to subscriber premises in FTTH and FTTB networks, with typical spans up to 120 meters .
5G Small Cell Backhaul: Lightweight design supports dense urban 5G fronthaul connectivity across streetlights and utility poles .
Rural & Suburban Networks: Provides cost-effective connectivity for rural pole networks where shorter pole spacing is common .
Smart City Infrastructure: Deploys for CCTV, traffic cameras, and building links where trenching is impractical .
Key Advantages
Cost-Effective: 20-30% more economical than standard ADSS cables by replacing expensive aramid yarn with FRP and reducing overall dimensions .
Lightweight & Compact: Weighs only 38-65 kg/km with diameters of 6.6-8.2mm, significantly reducing pole loading and simplifying logistics .
Live-Line Installation: Non-metallic construction allows installation without power shutdowns on lines up to 35kV, eliminating grounding requirements .
Environmental Resilience: Validated from -40°C to +70°C with UV and moisture resistance; gel-filled or dry water-blocking options available .
Long Service Life: Designed for 30+ years of reliable service with superior corrosion and electro-erosion resistance .

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between ASU cable and standard ADSS?
A: ASU is often called "Mini-ADSS." The primary difference is span capability: ASU supports 80-120m spans using FRP strength members, while ADSS can reach 200m+ using aramid yarn. ASU is lighter, more compact, and typically 20-30% cheaper for short-span applications .
Q2: Can ASU cable be installed on power poles with live lines?
A: Yes. Since ASU is an all-dielectric cable with no metal components, it can be safely installed alongside live power lines up to 35kV without requiring power outages or grounding hardware .
Q3: What is the maximum fiber count available?
A: ASU cables typically support 2 to 288 fibers per cable, with the most common configurations offering 2-24 fibers in a single loose tube design .
Q4: What are the standard span lengths and tensile ratings?
A: Standard spans are 80m, 100m, or 120m with rated tensile strengths of 1.5-2kN, verified through rigorous cyclic-load testing .
Q5: What delivery options are available?
A: Standard lead time is 5-7 days after order confirmation. Cables are supplied on wooden/steel drums with 2km-5km per drum. MOQ starts at 1km, and OEM customization (logo, packaging) is available .
