Corning SST-Drop™ All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) cables offer the ease of installation of standard ALTOS cable in an easy-access, single-tube design. The long-length ADSS version allows pole-to-pole span lengths ranging from 400 feet under NESC heavy ice and wind loading conditions to 500 feet under NESC medium loading.
