The ADSS Tension Clamp PA1500 is a type of anchoring or strain clamp specifically designed for tensioning All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) fiber optic cables in overhead telecommunication lines. It's widely used in Fiber to the Home (FTTH), Passive Optical Networks (PON), and Local Area Networks (LAN) deployments, particularly on intermediate poles or at dead-end routes.

Description:

The PA1500 tension clamp is a wedge-type clamp that securely grips the ADSS cable without damaging its jacket. It typically consists of:

  • Body: Made from high-strength, UV-resistant thermoplastic (often nylon PA-66 fiberglass) or aluminum alloy. This material ensures durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions and corrosion.
  • Wedges: Self-adjusting plastic wedges (also often made of UV-resistant thermoplastic) that automatically clamp the cable as tension is applied. The extended wedge length helps prevent cable damage.
  • Bail/Wire Rope: A flexible stainless steel bail or wire rope that allows for easy installation onto pole brackets, hooks, or other standard pole hardware. The open bail design facilitates rapid installation.

The clamp is designed to be tools-free for installation, significantly reducing installation time and cost.

Key Features:

  • Application: Primarily used for anchoring and tensioning ADSS fiber optic cables in aerial network routes. Suitable for short to medium spans, typically up to 100 meters, though some sources mention up to 150 meters, depending on cable configuration and environmental factors.
  • Cable Diameter: Designed for a specific range of ADSS cable diameters, commonly 8-12 mm or 11-14 mm.
  • Self-Adjusting Wedges: The conical design with self-adjusting wedges ensures a secure grip on the cable without causing damage or insulation compromise.
  • High Mechanical Strength: The clamp provides a high mechanical strength, typically with a minimum breaking load (MBL) of 10-15 kN, to withstand significant tension loads.
  • Durable Materials: Constructed from materials like aluminum alloy, UV-resistant thermoplastic (e.g., PA66 Fiberglass), and stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to weather, corrosion, and UV radiation.
  • Easy Installation: Designed for simple and fast, tool-free hand installation, which reduces labor costs and time. The open bail facilitates quick mounting on pole attachments.
  • Environmental Stability: Excellent resistance to various environmental factors, including temperature fluctuations (-40 to 60 degrees Celsius), UV exposure, and corrosion.
  • Anti-Drop-Off Design: Features an anti-drop-off design to ensure all parts are secured together and prevent accidental disassembly during or after installation.
  • Versatility: Can be used on various pole line hardware with open or closed eyes.
  • Cost-Effective: Often offers a competitive price point due to its efficient design and materials.

In summary, the ADSS Tension Clamp PA1500 is a reliable, robust, and easy-to-install solution for securely anchoring ADSS fiber optic cables in overhead telecommunication infrastructure, ensuring long-term network stability.
