[AFMUG] “ADSS”

There’s something driving me nuts lately. In your minds, does the term ADSS apply to *any* non-conducting, self supporting cable? Or does it apply more specifically to an OSP cable a central strength member and a concentric layer of aramid under the jacket? There’s an entire department at our

Re: [AFMUG] “ADSS”

One example where I know this was an issue was when an Elco we hadn’t dealt with before was given construction drawings identifying a number of loose tube drop cables as “ADSS”. The Elco designed make-ready plans assuming we wanted to attach in the secondary power space. We had to have them go

Re: [AFMUG] “ADSS”

I suppose they're technically correct, but it does seem like a misuse of the term to me as well. On Saturday, October 19, 2024, Adam Moffett wrote: > There’s something driving me nuts lately. > In your minds, does the term ADSS apply to *any* non-conducting, self supporting cable? Or does it app

Re: [AFMUG] “ADSS”

Good question. I always presumed it referred to self supporting drops that can be installed using p clamps. In my mind it was that one specific type of aerial fiber drop. Best Regards, Chuck McCown McCown Technology Corporation 8401 N Commerce Dr Lake Point, Utah 84074 801-250-9503 Office

I built an entire grid of these, very reliable.  UISP is free for monitoring.  Just got to remember to use backup power in rural areas for backhaul components. On 10/14/24 20:00, Ken Hohhof wrote: Well, you could use these: https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/loco5ac I would not use first g

These take me back to the days of potato-chip cans, tupperware, and tin-foil, thanks for finding them.  I'm just connecting cameras for a security system, 16Mbps is way more than enough.  I need directional communication between two points, through woods and rated for rain/outdoors.  A nanostat

Re: [AFMUG] “ADSS”

I exclusively use ADSS for my aerial plant. Much easier to put up, and you don't have to deal with strand or lashing. The option for having it in the power space can be nice as well. The attachment hardware is similar to what you use for guy wire dead ends, along with what you show above for straig

Re: [AFMUG] Extending home network

It looks like Cambium made a PTP version of the 900 MHz 450, if you can find some, and the dual yagi antennas. Sub 1 GHz isn’t that useful if it’s unlicensed, especially if there’s interference from FHSS smartmeters. And low FSL and goes through foliage means you can see interference from e

Re: [AFMUG] Extending home network

There are a few NSM900 and Rocket M900 up on ebay, prices look like about what they cost new 10 years ago! We sold our M900 gear for surprising prices when we pulled it all out maybe 4 yrs ago. On Sat, Oct 19, 2024 at 5:58 PM Jan-GAMs wrote: > These take me back to the days of potato-chip cans,
