When choosing an ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) cable, there are several factors to consider to ensure that you select the right cable for your specific application. Here are some key considerations:
Span length: ADSS cables are designed to be self-supporting, which means they don't require any external support structures. The maximum span length that an ADSS cable can cover will depend on the cable's construction, weight, and other factors. Therefore, it's important to consider the span length when choosing an ADSS cable.
Operating voltage: The operating voltage of the ADSS cable should match the voltage of the power lines it will be used on. Choosing a cable with a lower voltage rating than required could result in electrical breakdown and failure of the cable.
Fiber count: ADSS cables can be used for both power transmission and communication purposes. Therefore, you should consider the fiber count of the cable, which determines the number of optical fibers available for communication purposes.
Environment: The environmental conditions where the ADSS cable will be installed should also be considered, such as temperature, humidity, wind load, and exposure to UV radiation. Different cables have different temperature ratings and weather resistance capabilities, so you should choose a cable that is suitable for the specific environmental conditions.
Installation method: The installation method of the ADSS cable should also be considered, as some cables may require additional equipment or specialized installation techniques.
Manufacturer and quality: Finally, it's important to choose a reputable manufacturer with a proven track record of producing high-quality ADSS cables. This ensures that you receive a reliable and durable product that meets your specific needs.
