ADSS cable production is a process that has traditionally been done by hand. However, with the advancement of technology, there are now machines that can produce ADSS cable quickly and easily. In this article, we will discuss the process of ADSS cable production and how to use machines to do it effectively.

1. Introduce the ADSS cable and its features 

ADSS cable is a kind of optical fiber cable specially designed for aerial application. ADSS means All-Dielectric Self-Supporting. This type of cable usually has a core made of dielectric material and a sheath made of plastic or metal, which makes it has good characteristics of dielectric and corrosion resistance.

ADSS is usually used for long-distance and metropolitan area network applications where underground cables are not suitable due to environmental restrictions such as terrain or urban congestion.

The advantages of ADSS over traditional ADSS cables include its small size, lightweight, and low installation costs. ADSS also has good mechanical and environmental properties, making it an ideal choice for aerial applications. Thanks to these features, ADSS has become one of the most popular types of optical fiber cables in the world.

2. Describe the production process of the ADSS cable 

According to the picture it is easy to see what the structure of ADSS cable is composed of:

Now let’s see how to produce ADSS cable by machines:

To create ADSS cable, the first step is to color the Bard fiber in 12 different colors. This can be done easily by using machines:

The second step in the ADSS cable production process is to apply fiber jelly to the colored fibers inside the loose tube. This protects the fibers from damage and ensures that they will remain intact during the manufacturing process.

so the loose tube production line is the first step to making the ADSS cable:

The third step is to strand the 6-12 loose tubes around the FRP, then binding them by the water blocking yarn and the water blocking tape cover later.

The final step in the ADSS cable production process is to apply a rip cord and aramid yarns. This helps to protect the fibers from damage and ensures that the cable will be able to withstand harsh environmental conditions. The rip cord at the end of the cable makes it easy to tear through the sheath when it needs to be installed.

4. Discuss the benefits of using machines in the production of ADSS cables 

Machines play an important role in the production of ADSS cables. The benefits of using machines include: increased speed and efficiency, reduced costs, improved safety, and consistent quality.

Machines can work faster and more accurately than humans, meaning that more cables can be produced in a shorter time frame. This leads to reduced costs as well as increased productivity. In addition, machines are not susceptible to human error, which can often lead to costly mistakes.

Finally, machines produce cables with a consistent level of quality, ensuring that each cable meets strict standards. When used in conjunction with skilled workers, machines a can produce high-quality ADSS cables quickly and efficiently.
