The price of 24-core ADSS optical cable (all-dielectric self-supporting optical cable) is affected by several factors, including span, sheath type (PE or AT), aramid yarn material, brand, and customization requirements. The following factors influence the price:
Span: The larger the span, the higher the tensile strength required for the cable, increasing the amount of aramid yarn used and thus the price. For example, a 200-meter span is usually priced lower than a 500-meter span.
Sheath Type: PE sheaths are suitable for voltage environments below 110KN, while AT sheaths are used for higher voltage environments; the latter is more expensive.
Material Quality: Imported aramid yarn (such as DuPont or Teijin) is more expensive than domestic materials but has superior tensile strength.
Structural Design: The stranded structure (such as 5+1 or 4+1 loose tube configuration) and the use of filler ropes also affect the cost.
Recommendations and Precautions
Clarify Requirements: Parameters such as span, sheath type, and fiber type (primarily single-mode) are required for an accurate quote from the manufacturer.
Quality Verification: Be wary of potentially substandard materials in low-priced products (e.g., inferior domestic aramid yarn or single-sheath design). Prioritize manufacturers that provide testing reports and warranty services.
Customization Services: Prices may increase for special structures (e.g., number of filler ropes, loose tube configuration).
In summary, the specific price of ADSS optical cable needs to be determined based on project requirements. It is recommended to prioritize manufacturers that provide complete technical parameters and warranties, and compare quotes from multiple suppliers to balance cost and quality.
