Aerial Cable Types
Type Main Features Typical Applications
ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) Non-metallic structure; immune to lightning and EMI Power line corridors, high-voltage areas, long aerial spans
Figure-8 Self-Supporting Integrated steel messenger for mechanical support Urban & rural distribution, broadband last-mile access

Fiber Options and Technical Performance
Camcom provides aerial cables in both single-mode and multi-mode variants:
• Single-Mode (G.652D / G.657A1 / G.657A2): Low attenuation for long-distance transmission
• Multi-Mode (OM1 / OM2 / OM3 / OM4 / OM5): High-bandwidth performance for shorter access networks
• Fiber Counts: Up to 144 cores (custom configurations available)
Each cable is optimized for optical stability, precise attenuation control, and dependable operation in overhead environments.

Environmental Durability and Long-Term Performance
Camcom’s aerial fiber optic cables are engineered for extreme outdoor exposure and mechanical loading:
• UV-resistant, weatherproof outer sheath
• Dry or gel-filled moisture-blocking construction

Aerial Fiber Optic Cables — Frequently Asked Questions

What is an aerial cable?
An aerial cable is a communication cable designed for overhead installation between poles. It is built to withstand wind loading, UV exposure, temperature variations, and ice buildup while carrying its own weight across spans.

What are the types of aerial fiber optic cables?
Common types include:
• ADSS: All-dielectric, lightning-immune, ideal near high-voltage lines
• Figure-8: Includes a steel messenger for added strength, ideal for short-to-mid spans
Variants also include lash-to-messenger builds and armored versions for high-risk environments.

Which fiber type is suitable for long-distance aerial runs?
Single-mode fibers (G.652D or G.657A1/A2) offer low attenuation and are best suited for long aerial routes.

Can fiber optic cables be installed aerially?
Yes. Aerial fiber optic cables are specifically engineered for overhead installation. ADSS is preferred for dielectric routes, while Figure-8 is chosen where messenger-supported strength is required.
