The Self-Sustained Optical Cable is used in aerial networks, it does not have any metallic item to support the cable traction, being therefore totally dielectric (electrically isolated). Due to its compact structure and with a reduced amount of fibers (up to 12), it is indicated for intermediate and final installations in rural and urban optical networks and can be launched in spans of up to 120 meters (AS 120, or spans of 80 meters for AS cables) 80).
The internal configuration of the self-supporting optical cable consists of the tying of two FRP (plastic reinforced fiber) together with a loose tube. The loose structure consists of intubating the naked optical fibers together with a protective jelly that keeps the fibers away from moisture. AS cables can contain 2, 4, 6, or 12 fibers (cables with 1, 8 or 10 fibers on request).
The outer cover of the self-supporting optical cable is made of thermoplastic material with anti-UV protection, which will prevent degradation of the cable exposed to the weather. It is worth mentioning that this cable is only suitable for outdoor aerial installations and does not have flame retardant additives, standard NR.

By adding the Self-Sustained Optical Cable - AS to its product line, Fibracem intends to offer installers a completely dielectric cable option, which avoids electrical discharges in the networks and also reduces the installation cost by dispensing the grounding of the optical networks.
