Cost-effectiveness of Drop Fiber Optic Cable ADSSODM
IEEE-1222 tests show that a 24-fiber ADSS with FRP strength members retains >95 % tensile strength after 1,000 h in 5 % NaCl. 18 per line-meter by deleting grounding wire, counterpoise and annual corrosion inspection. For outdoor FTTH networks, ADSS (Aerial Dielectric Self-Supporting) cables and drop cables are two of the most commonly used cable. For Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and network operators, the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) race is a race for reliability. While backbone and distribution networks get the most attention during planning, the success of the entire architecture rests on the most fragile link: the fiber optic drop.
