4 Core ASU Fiber Optic Cable 100m Span Mini-ADSS Self-Supporting
The 4 Core ASU Fiber Optic Cable (often referred to as mini-ADSS) is a compact, highly efficient self-supporting aerial cable designed for short-span telecommunication and FTTH distribution networks. This cable structure is specifically engineered to clear 100-meter span distances safely, making it the perfect cost-effective alternative to traditional heavy ADSS cables for rural broadband and suburban drop links.
Featuring a unique single loose tube configuration, the cable houses 4 premium single-mode fiber cores protected by dual parallel FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) strength members embedded within the outer jacket. This 100% non-metallic, dielectric design allows for safe installation directly on high-voltage power distribution lines without dangerous electrical interference or the need for power shutdowns.
- 100m Span Optimization: Packed with high-tensile structural strength to maintain stable sag profiles over standard 100-meter utility pole clearances.
- Integrated Dual FRP Members: Two parallel FRP rods provide excellent crush resistance and tensile strength while keeping the cable lightweight.
- Fully Non-Metallic Design: 100% dielectric construction ensures total immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and lightning strikes.
- Cost-Effective Mini Profile: Smaller outer diameter means less wind and ice loading pressure, reducing the structural stress on your existing poles.
- Weather-Proof Outer Jacket: Extruded with a high-density, UV-resistant black sheath that protects the fiber cores from decades of intense sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature shifts.

- Last-Mile Aerial Access: Deployed by ISPs and telecom contractors for rapid, tool-efficient aerial installations where larger ADSS cables are over-budget.
With 13 years of specialized production experience, Shandong Yibo Optronics Technology Co., Ltd. delivers utility-grade aerial cables that pass international network standards.
- Precision Tension Modeling: In our independent material research lab, we strictly test the stress-strain profiles of our ASU cables to ensure the 100m span sag performs perfectly under local ice and wind loads.
- 100% Pure Virgin Materials: We use only authentic, premium high-density polyethylene for our sheaths, preventing premature tracking, cracking, or aging under constant outdoor UV exposure.
