Aerial Cables
Aerial Cable is designed with integral bearer for installation on utility poles of an optical cable communication network. The cable design is available in unitube (up to 24 loose fibers), multitube design- single sheath construction (up to 144 fibres) and multitube design- double sheath construction (up to 96 fibres) and figure-8 design. The design is lightweight and flexible and able to withstand normal installation forces of strain, crush, bend and twist.
All Dielectric Self Supporting (ADSS) cable is designed for installation on poles with maximum span of 100 meters. It can be supplied with loose and ribbon fiber or both. The aramide yarn strength member and the radial shape of the slotted core profile provide an effective protection against tension and radial forces applied by the cable fittings. Being completely dielectric, the cable can be installed parallel with power lines.
UNITUBE DESIGN
Light weight permits larger spans. Ideal for direct installation on poles and buildings.

Figure-8 Design
The loose tubes containing fibers and jelly are S-Z stranded around a central strength member. A bunch of stranded steel wires are sheathed with core to make the figure-8 construction, ideal for aerial installation.

FTTH Cables
FLAT DROP OUTDOOR CABLE
Loose tube containing fibers and jelly is placed between two aramid FRP rods. One GFRP rod provides extra tensile strength for aerial installation. This cable is good for last mile FTTH connectivity using poles.
