SOLO® ADSS Loose Tube, Gel-Filled, Dual-

Jacket Cable
48 F, Single-mode (OS2)

Corning SOLO® ADSS optical cables are all-dielectric,


self-supporting (ADSS) cables designed for easy and
economical one-step installation in campus backbones
with self-supporting installations where metallic messen-
gers cannot be used. The loose tube design provides
stable performance over a wide temperature range and
is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical
fiber. The cable design can span distances in excess of
500 m (1650 ft) in NESC heavy conditions.
This cable incorporates innovative waterblocking mate-
rials, eliminating the need for traditional flooding com-
pound and providing efficient and craft-friendly cable
preparation. While the concentric, self-supporting cable
design allows easy, one-step installation using standard
hardware and installation methods, the SZ-stranded,
loose tube design isolates optical fibers from installation
and environmental rigors and facilitates mid-span access.
The ADSS optical cables are also available with a propri-
etary track-resistant polyethylene (TRPE) jacket suitable Part Number: 048EAE-T4A01A20
for installation in electric field potentials up to 25 kV.
