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.
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.
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.
