Mini-Bracket Mini-Brackets are used for short and medium spans of ADSS fiber optic cable as well as aerial drop cables. Mini-Brackets are sized to fit the specified ADSS diameters. Standard Mini-Brackets are employed with fitted bushings to provide a good support/groove fit and to prevent the support from damaging the cable. The bolted supports are supplied with aluminum captive bolts to simplify installation with no loose parts.
Mini-Dead Ends
The Mini-Dead Ends are designed for fast and easy installation of your ADSS Mini-Span® cable. The Mini-Dead End is ideal in crowded distribution environments where its shorter length allows for efficient installation. This unique low-cost product is used in typical spans with 1% installation sag.
Mini Formed Wire Tangent Support (FTS) Formed Wire Tangent Supports (FTS) are used with ADSS Mini-Span® 323 and Mini-Span® 383 for short span applications. Tangent supports provide a method of attaching AFL’s smallest ADSS Mini-Span® designs with excellent unbalanced load capability and bend relief support. This product is designed to connect directly to J-hooks on wood poles for an economical solution.
Spiral Vibration Damper Spiral Vibration Dampers have a helically formed damping section sized for interplay of damper and cable to provide the action/reaction motion that opposed the natural vibration wave. A smaller gripping section gently grips the cable so that cable and fiber are not damaged or distorted and there is no optical signal loss. Spiral dampers are recommended for the ADSS cable when the combination of span length and tension indicate by vibration review that external vibration protection is required.
Downlead Clamps These clamps are typically two groove clamps used to guide the cable to splice locations. Clamps are spaced 5 to 8 feet apart to help maintain alignment of the cable down the towers or poles. The clamps may be bolted to the tower or poles or adaptors, and can be supplied for the steel towers, steel poles and concrete poles.
Tower Guide Clamp Guide clamps are typically two groove clamps used to guide the cable to splice locations. Clamps are spaced 5 to 8 feet apart to help maintain alignment of the cable down the towers or poles. The guide clamps may be bolted to the tower or poles or adaptors, and can be supplied for the steel towers, steel poles and concrete poles.
Urethane Downlead Cushion Clamps These clamps are typically two groove clamps used to guide the cable to splice locations. Clamps are spaced 4 to 6 feet apart to help maintain alignment of the cable down the towers or poles. Various mounting hardware is available for wood and concrete poles and steel lattice towers.
Trunion Assemblies AFL Telecommunications offers trunions with various mounting capabilities: bolted, banded, or standoff. Trunions reduce installation costs by functioning as a pull-through during installation. No block or pulley is needed for most applications.
Wedge Dead End AFL Telecommunications offers wedge dead ends that ease and speed ADSS cable installation. The ADSS Wedge Dead End is ideal in crowded distribution environments because its shorter length allows for safer and efficient installation. The Wedge Dead End comes with all parts assembled. The side plates are properly aligned with spacers and self-locking hex bolts, as well as retainers. Lubricated wedges are pre-installed inside the body of the dead end. The bail is assembled with stainless steel swaged fittings and locking disc.
