ADSS or All-Dielectric Self Supported cable is a type of fiber optic cable that doesn't need metallic elements for its support. Synonyms for the word ADSS include aerial fiber cable, non-metallic cable, fiber aerial cable, and non-conductive fiber optic cable. In telecom industry lingo, they are also called "figure-8" cables due to their characteristic cable design. They are the perfect solution for applications requiring high-bandwidth communication over long distances and harsh environments. ADSS stands out from traditional fiber optic cable designs due to its lightweight, cost-effectiveness, and easy-to-install features. As technology continues to advance, ADSS cables will likely become increasingly prevalent to maintain consistent connectivity.
