- It is self-supportive and does not utilize metallic elements that are conductive;
- Its installation costs are lower compared to OPGW (optical ground wire) and OPAC (optical attached cable);
- It has amazing mechanical strength, low weight, can handle external load and suitable for high loading and unloading cycle;
- Its aramid yarn increase cable’s tensile performance, as well as temperature performance under unfavorable weather;

Even though ADSS cable itself is quite durable, the correct choice of mountingfastening devices is crucial to ensure or even extend the desirable service life of the cable. Anchoring clamps can be used as cable dead-end at end-poles (using individual clamp) or can be installed as intermediate (double dead-end) clamp at:
- jointing poles
- intermediate angle poles, where the cable route deviates by more than 20°
- intermediate poles, where two connecting spans are different in lengths, to equalize tension
- intermediate poles on mountain or hilly landscapes
