This is an all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) overhead fiber optic cable specially engineered for rodent-infested outdoor aerial routes. It adopts a full non-metallic design with a full-circle round FRP rod armor layer as the core anti-gnawing barrier, combining chemical anti-rodent outer sheath additives and physical rigid FRP protection to stop damage from squirrels, rats, marmots and birds.
Without steel messenger wire or metal armor, the cable supports self-suspension on power transmission poles/towers from low to medium-high voltage grids (≤220kV). The round full FRP armor distributes impact and biting force evenly around the cable circumference, outperforming side flat FRP anti-rodent ADSS in uniform wildlife protection. It features loose tube water-blocked core, high-tensile aramid yarn load-bearing layer, double PE sheath system, and fits long-span overhead aerial deployment in forests, mountainous, rural and wild areas with severe rodent hazards.

Cable Cross Section
360° Round FRP rods anti-rodent and anti-impact protection better than partial flat FRP ADSS;
All Dielectric Fully non-conductive, safe to deploy alongside 10kV–220kV power lines with live-line installation allowed;
Self-supporting design, without additional messenger wire, reduce installation costs
Customizable span length, fiber count and tension grade;
Wide temperature adaptability (-40℃ to +70℃);
Excellent water-blocking and weather resistance;
Easy field stripping with built-in ripcords,
long 25+ year service life and low later maintenance cost.
Overhead communication for power grid towers, rural FTTH trunk lines, mountain/forest/wilderness monitoring networks, railway signal links and rodent-prone aerial routes where underground cabling is uneconomical.
Protection range: Round FRP rods form a full 360° surrounding barrier, no blind spots against rodent biting; flat FRP only protects partial cable circumference, vulnerable to gnawing on uncovered sides.
Impact resistance: Even force dispersion around the cable, better anti-stone strike, bird pecking and vandalism performance.
Structure stability: Uniform circular layer avoids eccentricity during cable laying and suspension, less extra optical attenuation under long-span tension.
Bitter additive HDPE outer sheath chemically discourages rodents from biting;
Continuous rigid round FRP armor physically blocks teeth penetration;
Inner MDPE sheath prevents water intrusion even if the outer jacket has minor scratches.
It effectively resists damage from squirrels, field rats, marmots and woodpeckers, suitable for heavy rodent hazard zones.
Short span: 50–150m for rural pole routes;
Medium span: 150–300m for mountain and valley lines;
Long span: 300–800m for wide river crossing, high-tower transmission corridors.
We can match tension grade according to your actual pole distance, wind and ice load requirements.
Fiber types: G.652D, G.657A1/A2 single-mode fibers for long-distance communication; multimode fibers on request.
Standard core counts: 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144 cores; customized higher core counts up to 288 cores are acceptable.
All loose tubes and fibers are color-coded for easy splicing identification.
