Product Title
Hot Sale Outdoor Aerial ASU Fiber Optic Cable | 6–12 Core Mini ADSS, 80m–120m Span
Product Overview
The ASU (Aerial Self-Supporting Unitube) fiber optic cable is designed for outdoor aerial installations requiring high tensile strength, durability, and long-span capability. Its compact unitube structure houses fibers in a central tube, ensuring strong protection against environmental stress while keeping the cable lightweight for easy deployment.
Built with non-metallic strength members, ASU cable is safe for use in environments with electrical interference and restrictions on metallic materials. It provides stable optical performance in diverse conditions, with excellent resistance to UV exposure, temperature variations, and mechanical loads.

ASU Fiber Optic Cable Span Options
ASU 80
The ASU 80 optical cable supports self-spans of up to 80 meters, making it ideal for urban and suburban aerial installations. In city environments, where utility poles are typically spaced around 40 meters, this cable provides stable support and reliable signal transmission for FTTH and FTTx networks. Its lightweight, all-dielectric design ensures safe installation near live power lines without interference.
ASU 100
The ASU 100 cable is designed for spans up to 100 meters, suitable for rural and semi-urban deployments. With typical pole spacing between 90–100 meters, it maintains high tensile strength and signal integrity over longer distances. Perfect for aerial telecom lines, campus networks, and inter-building fiber connections.
ASU 120
The ASU 120 cable can self-support spans up to 120 meters, ideal for challenging installations with wider pole spacing such as highways, bridges, and river crossings. Its robust all-dielectric construction provides UV resistance, moisture protection, and long-term durability, ensuring stable performance even in harsh outdoor conditions.

FAQ – ASU Fiber Optic Cable
1. What is an ASU fiber optic cable?
ASU (Aerial Self-Supporting Unitube) cable is a non-metallic, self-supporting optical fiber cable designed for outdoor aerial installations. It offers high tensile strength and can span long distances without additional messenger wires.
2. What are the available span options?
ASU cables are available in three span types: ASU 80 (up to 80m), ASU 100 (up to 100m), and ASU 120 (up to 120m), suitable for urban, rural, and long-distance installations like highways or bridges.
3. What fiber types are supported?
Single-mode fibers G652D, G657A1, and G657A2 are supported, with 2–12 cores depending on your project needs.
4. Is the cable safe near power lines?
Yes. ASU cables are fully dielectric (non-metallic), making them safe for installation near live power lines without electromagnetic interference.
5. Can I request OEM or custom services?
Yes. We provide OEM services, including custom core counts, fiber types, and logo printing according to your requirements.
6. How is the cable protected against environmental factors?
The cable features UV- and moisture-resistant PE jackets, aramid or FRP strength members, and gel-filled loose tubes to ensure durability in harsh outdoor conditions.
7. What is the typical installation environment?
ASU cables are suitable for aerial telecom lines, FTTH and FTTx projects, campus networks, inter-building connections, and metro or backbone networks.
