Aluminum alloy bracket for optical cable

Aluminum alloy brackets are durable hardware components designed to support and secure fiber optic cables on poles or walls, offering high mechanical strength and versatile installation options. Types and Applications1. Suspension Brackets (CS 1500, FAS, ADSS clamps)Made from high-strength aluminum alloy, these brackets support All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) fiber optic cables on utility poles or towers.

They can be installed on drilled or non-drilled poles, including steel, wood, or concrete. For drilled poles, installation uses bolts (14–16 mm), while non-drilled poles require pole bands with compatible buckles. The Fiberlign Aluminum Support (FAS) can handle spans up to 600 feet without reinforcement, and longer spans (600–1200 feet) require Structural Reinforcing Rods (SRR).

Maximum line angles for permanent installations are typically 20°, with some exceptions up to 30°. 2.

Anchor Brackets

These brackets secure fiber optic cables at fixed points, providing high pulling and hanging strength for aerial installations. They are suitable for both tension and hanging applications, ensuring cable stability in adverse environmental conditions. 3.

OS

P (Outside Plant) BracketsOSP aluminum alloy brackets are used with tension cable clamps to support ADSS cables on poles or walls. They are compatible with various tension clamps for fiber optic bulk cables ranging from 3–13 mm in diameter. These brackets are typically silver-colored and designed for easy installation using bolts, bands, or standoff brackets depending on the structure.

Material and Performance

Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy, these brackets are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for outdoor environments. Many brackets include soft dielectric inserts to protect the cable from mechanical damage while maintaining firm support. They comply with international standards such as ISO/IEC 11801, TIA/EIA 568B, GB, YD, JIS, DIN, and CCITT.

Installation Considerations

Ensure proper bolt length for drilled poles: at least the pole diameter plus 20 mm. For non-drilled poles, use pole bands with compatible buckles to secure the bracket. Check span length and line angle limits to prevent overloading or cable damage.

Use reinforcing rods for long spans or heavy cables to maintain structural integrity.

Summary

Aluminum alloy brackets for optical cables provide reliable, durable, and versatile support for aerial and wall-mounted fiber optic installations. They are compatible with a wide range of pole types and cable diameters, offer high mechanical performance, and protect cables from environmental and mechanical stress, making them essential components in modern fiber optic networks.
