ADSS optical fiber cable is a kind of optical cable used for suspension on high-voltage transmission lines, and it is an important part in the field of electric power communication. Proper installation of ADSS cable can ensure its long-term stable operation and avoid failures and potential safety hazards. Below, we will introduce some best practice methods for ADSS fiber optic cable installation.
1. Choose a suitable installation location
Before installing the ADSS cable, you should choose a suitable installation location. A location free from electrical equipment or other sundries should be preferred to ensure the stability and safety of the cable installation. When choosing the installation location, the tension and bending radius of the optical cable should also be considered to ensure that the transmission performance of the optical cable will not be affected.
2. Check line towers and rods
Before starting to install ADSS cables, the line towers and rods should be carefully inspected. The structural integrity and installation of towers and masts should be checked to ensure they can withstand the tension and weight of the cable. At the same time, it is also necessary to check whether there are any defects such as corrosion and cracks on the surface of towers and rods, and repair or replace them if necessary.
3. Installation method of optical cable
When installing ADSS cable, you should choose the appropriate installation method. Commonly used optical cable installation methods include hanging type, hanging type, twisted hanging type, etc. Among them, the hanging type is the most commonly used installation method, which can make the optical cable closely fit the power line, and prevent the optical cable from swinging and vibrating due to wind and other reasons.
4. Control of cable tension
When installing ADSS cable, pay attention to the control of optical cable tension. Too high or too low cable tension will affect the transmission performance and life of the cable. Therefore, when installing the optical cable, the appropriate tension range should be determined according to the specification and length of the optical cable, and the corresponding tension control device should be used to control it.
5. the treatment of optical cable joints
During the installation of the optical cable, it may be necessary to connect the optical cable. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to the handling of the optical cable connector. Optical cable joints need to ensure the optical performance and mechanical strength of the connection to ensure the transmission performance and stability of the optical cable. Commonly used optical cable joints are mechanical joints, fusion joints, etc.
