12 Core Mini ADSS Cable

12 Core Mini ADSS Cable

Compact 12-core All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) cable offering higher fiber density in the same lightweight, all-dielectric package. With 12 fibers, this cable supports GPON splits of 1:64 or higher, or multiple PON services from a single aerial span. The dry water-blocking technology (superabsorbent yarns and swellable tapes) eliminates the need for messy gel cleaning during splicing, reducing field preparation time. The aramid yarn strength member configuration is optimized for medium spans up to 150 meters, allowing for longer distances between poles compared to the 8-core version. The cable is suitable for installation on power distribution poles (up to 35 kV) and standalone pole lines. The PE sheath includes carbon black for UV resistance and is available with a tracking-resistant jacket for higher voltage environments. The 12 fibers are color-coded and arranged in one or two loose tubes (6+6 configuration), providing flexibility for mid-span access and branching.

• Fiber Count: 12 cores (6+6 in two loose tubes or single 12-fiber tube)
• Type: Single mode G.652.D (standard) with optional G.657 for tight bends
• Construction: Dry water-blocking (superabsorbent yarns) — no gel to clean
• Span Length: Up to 150 meters (depending on sag, wind/ice loading zone)
• Diameter: Approximately 8–10 mm (depends on fiber count and aramid thickness)
• Sheath: Anti-tracking PE for voltages up to 110 kV (per IEC 60840)
• Tensile Strength: 5,000 N (short term), 2,000 N (long term)
• Minimum Bend Radius: 20 x cable diameter (installation), 10 x diameter (in-service)
