ADSS cable accessories are simply fittings that are used to fix the ADSS cables to the poles so that the cables can perform their duties as required. Since there are many different types of ADSS cable accessories each one of them is designed to perform different roles on the cable. Naturally, ADSS cable accessories are expected to be found anywhere that there is ADSS cable. This automatically means that they are suitable for all the applications that involve the use of ADSS cables. The accessories or fittings are applicable in situations where the cable is likely to be exposed to elements of nature. Such elements include high temperature, strong winds, and ice load. They ensure that the fiber optic cable remains intact. ADSS fiber optic cable hardware is used in telecommunication and power utilities. As long as these installations have the ADSS cables, expect to find the respective fittings on them. ADSS cable accessories are also used in the underbuild applications. They ensure that the ADSS fiber optic cable remains steady to minimize the unexpected outages. Here are some main types of ADSS cable accessories that you can buy: Although there are different types of ADSS cable fittings, their methods of installation are almost similar. Most of them are directly installed in the ADSS cable. In most cases, more than one ADSS accessory is used to support the ADSS cable onto the pole. Various techniques can be used for attaching these accessories to the ADSS cable. Each technique depends on the type of fitting that is used. For instance, for the vibration dampers, the fitting is usually installed whereby the gripping section is directed towards the tower so that it can spin freely.What are ADSS Cable Accessories?
