AFL has expanded its ADSS cable line with new Flex-Span® option.
AFL is expanding its single jacket ADSS portfolio with the introduction of a new configuration for the Flex-Span ADSS family of fiber optic cable. Flex-Span designs are optimized for a broader combination of fiber counts and span lengths, providing ADSS system designers more flexibility in their product selection.
Flex-Span’s new core configuration contains five buffer tubes with 24 fibers each for a total of 120 fibers. This allows higher fiber counts in a very small diameter (<0.475”) while still maintaining the span length capability. A smaller diameter can lead to less loading on the poles while also providing the same hardware size.
