Designs with more than 12 fibers per tube will use the standard color code and binders for identification of the fibers.
Designs with mixed fiber types will have multimode or NZDS fibers in the first tube(s) followed by single-mode fibers in
the last tube(s).

* - The stringing tension is always measured at the tensioner side. In general the maximum stringing
tension should be a half of the maximum sagging tension and never should exceed 20% RBS of the
ADSS Cable.
** - The value indicated is for the first and last structures of the pull and is based on 40 times the
diameter of the ADSS cable. Smaller diameters can be used at tangent structures. Reference
AFL's installation instructions for more details.
Reference AFL's "Recommended Installation Procedures for All-Dielectric, Self-Supporting (ADSS)
Fiber Optic Cable" for detailed installation instructions.

Maximum lengths shown are the longest lengths that AFL offers. Longer lengths may be possible.
Ordered lengths should include a distribution of lengths, i.e., all reels cannot be ordered at the maximum.
A typical reel length distribution is as follows:
6000m – 7000m ~ 15% of reels
4500m – 6000m ~ 55% of reels
2500m – 4500m ~ 25% of reels
<2500m ~ 5% of reels
Wood reels with flex-wrap covering are standard. Non-returnable steel reels and/or wood lagging are
available upon request. Additional reel sizes may be available upon request.
Arbor Hole Diameter:
Steel: 3in (7.6cm)
Wood: 3-1/8in (7.9cm)
Steel reels are recommended for long term storage. Reference AFL's "Fiber Optic Cable Receiving,
Handling and Storage" document for additional information.
