Preformed Line Products 4800122 FIBERLIGN® Lite Support for ADSS Cable Diameter Range inches .724-.779
The FIBERLIGN Lite Support (FLS) system is designed to gently but firmly support All Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) cable. It is intended for tangent support installations (see "LINE ANGLES") on lines that feature low voltages, very short spans and low mechanical loads. For products with higher capabilities see the subsequent pages under FIBERLIGN® Dielectric Support, FIBERLIGN Aluminum Support, FIBERLIGN Aluminum Suspension, with and without rods and FIBERLIGN Dielectric Suspension. The two latter products can be used in higher voltage environments where track resistant ADSS cables are required.
DUAL INSERT APPLICATION:
The FLS with small and large inserts can support two cables. Existing FIBERLIGN Dielectric Support (FDS) installations (up to 300' spans) can be replaced or "retrofitted" using the FLS. This option increases capability from one to two cables within minimal pole space.
FTTP:
-Fiber to the Premises drop cables can have round, flat and
figure 8 construction. Specially designed Lite Support
inserts are available to accept all of these configurations.
STACKING:
-LITE Support Housings are stackable to add more cables within the same pole space. This can offer a neat alternative to busy "J-Hook" clutter for FTTP drop cable distribution. Maximum Span Lengths -- 300 feet (91 m):
-The maximum recommended span length for the FLS is dependent upon the specific cable OD, initial cable tension, ice and wind loading district (NESC), and other factors. It is intended for application on short spans where vertical loading does not exceed 1000# (4.4 kN) under the extreme case.
-In general, the approximate recommended maximum span length for the FLS is 300 feet (91 m) under extreme loads (NESC Heavy). Consult Preformed Line Products for specif.ic span limitations.
MATERIAL:
-The housing halves are made from a high-strength, dielectric urethane material. The cushioned inserts are made from a softer, pliable dielectric material that gently grips and cushions the ADSS cable within the clamped housing. The hardware (optional) for banded applications is zinc plated.
