FIBERLIGN® ADSS Drop Cable Dead-End
Classified as a formed wire design, the FIBERLIGN ADSS Drop Cable Dead-End is able to secure the soft, pliable surface of a drop cable without causing attenuation. Unlike wedge-type dead-ends, the formed wire dead-end effectively transfers the axial load on the cable at the end of the dead-end legs to a low uniform radial compression near the loop. This transition of force is distributed over the length of the product, providing a secure hold with minimal pressure on the cable or messenger.
-
Applies directly to the pliable surface of the drop cable without damaging the cable jacket or causing fiber attenuation that wedge-style clamps can cause
-
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy that is latex coated to provide a compatible interface with the polyethylene jacket of the drop cable
-
Uses a common design for both round-profile and fl at drop cables that can reduce inventory and training needs
-
Multi-wire loop section provides more strength than the single wire bail of wedge clamps
-
Dead-end loop will fit a minimum diameter of 1" (25.4 mm) and a maximum of 1-5/8" (41.3 mm)
