Product Overview

Opelink's high-count ADSS Aerial cable extends the all-dielectric self-supporting design to fiber counts up to 288 cores, making it the ideal backbone for large-scale power utility telecom networks. With 14 span/tension configurations (OD 12.5–17.9 mm, break strength 10–120 kN), this series covers every scenario from short distribution spans to extreme long-span crossings on 500 kV lines.

Key Features & Benefits

Feature	Benefit
Up to 288 Fibers	Highest fiber density in Opelink ADSS range — ideal for backbone and ring networks
14 Span/Tension Configurations	Granular matching of cable to span requirements minimizes cost overruns
Aramid Yarn Strength (4.6–58.8 mm² CSA)	Proportional sizing — lighter cables for short spans, heavy-duty for crossings
Near-Zero Thermal Expansion	As low as -0.8 × 10⁻⁶/K on heavy-duty models ensures stable sag
AT Outer Sheath Standard	Anti-tracking protection on all models for lines 35 kV to 500 kV

Technical Specifications

All values measured per IEC 60794-1-2.

Cross-Border Interconnects — Long-span crossings at international interconnections
Railway Fiber Backbone — Parallel deployment along electrified high-speed rail

Why Choose Opelink?

14 standard configurations eliminate guesswork — each grade pre-engineered for a span/voltage class.
288-fiber capacity future-proofs your network without replacing the cable plant.
OTDR testing at 1310/1550 nm, tensile proof-testing, and temperature cycling on every batch.
Collaborated with Ericsson, Vodafone, and Commscope on utility fiber projects across 50+ countries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I select the right ADSS cable configuration?
A: Based on max span length, line voltage, NESC loading zone, and fiber count. Opelink provides free span analysis — send tower profile for recommendation within 48 hours.
Q: What is the advantage of 288 fibers vs 144?
A: Doubles capacity in same diameter class — enables 5G fronthaul, enterprise dark fiber leasing, and built-in redundancy without a second cable.
Q: Can these ADSS cables be installed on energized lines?
A: Yes — all-dielectric construction enables live-line installation with standard dielectric stringing equipment, no outage required.
