The Hermesys LadonX™ ADSS cable enables fast, single-pass installation for aerial fiber runs. Since it is all-dielectric, crews can install it along utility poles without cable lashing or grounding, and it withstands power lines up to 275kV — a good fit for demanding utility and campus backbone projects.
The cable’s extended-span design supports spans up to 1000m, which suits river crossings and other wide-gap routes where standard spans fall short. Its light weight and round cross-section also reduce wind and ice loading, keeping sag and tensile stress on towers and support hardware to a minimum.
Key Features and Benefits
- The FRP central strength member weighs less than steel and resists rust, so it holds up for the cable’s full service life.
- PBTP loose tube filling blocks water ingress with a water tightness compound, keeping the fibers protected.
- Loose tubes wrap S-Z around the central strength member for stable core geometry.
- Aramid yarn strength elements add tensile strength, keeping the cable stable during both installation and long-term operation.
- A double PE jacket (inner and outer, both black) resists UV rays and withstands prolonged outdoor exposure.
Applications
This cable suits self-support aerial and river-crossing routes across outside-plant networks. Since it requires no lashing or grounding, it also performs well near power lines up to 275kV, letting utilities and telecom operators deploy it wherever metallic cable is not suitable.
