ADSS cable is a fully dielectric (non-metallic) self-supporting aerial fiber cable designed for installation on power transmission towers and distribution poles. The relationship between span, sag, and tension: Sag (m) = (W ×. Clearance requirements for aerial cables are defined in Section 23 of the National Electrical Safety Code® (NESC®). State and local authorities have adopted some editions and some parts of this code. To. is properly limited [1,2]. These limits are clearly defined in industry standards [3,4] and are a primary consideration when desi ning optical fiber cables. A good analogy for his is an automotive tire. This value is affected by the amount of cable sag and by. Aerial work mixes mechanical engineering (span, sag, tension), careful selection of cable types (ADSS, figure-8, lashed) and a disciplined safety-first attitude. The outer jacket is UV-resistant and.
