Description
Product Overview
The Anti-Rodent FRP Armored Double Jacket ADSS Aerial Cable combines fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) armor with double-jacket construction and anti-rodent protection — delivering the ultimate defense against mechanical damage, wildlife, and environmental stress in hostile deployment zones. This is ZTO’s most robust ADSS offering for installations where standard dielectric cables face unacceptably high failure risk from rodent activity.
Three layers of protection work together: an inner HDPE jacket, a helical FRP armor layer for physical bite resistance, and an anti-rodent outer HDPE jacket with embedded deterrent additives. The result is a cable that maintains all-dielectric properties while providing crush resistance exceeding 4000 N/100mm — comparable to metallic armored cables without the grounding and lightning risks.

Applications
- Agricultural Regions: Farmland and rural deployments where rodent populations are high and cable damage from gnawing is a persistent problem.
- Forested & Tropical Areas: Wildlife-rich environments where squirrels, rats, and other rodents pose a constant threat to aerial infrastructure.
- High-Risk Power Line Corridors: Transmission and distribution line co-location in areas with documented rodent damage history.
- Long-Span Wilderness Crossings: Remote aerial spans (200–1000M) where cable replacement is logistically difficult and costly — maximum reliability is essential.
FRP vs. Steel Tape Armor: Why FRP Wins
| Feature | FRP Armor (ZTO) | Steel Tape Armor |
|---|---|---|
| Dielectric (Non-Conductive) | Yes — safe near power lines | No — requires grounding |
| Lightning Risk | Minimal | High — acts as conductor |
| Weight | Lightweight | Heavy — adds significant load |
| Corrosion | Immune | Prone to rust in humid climates |
| Crush Resistance | ≥4000 N/100mm | ≥3000 N/100mm |
| Rodent Bite Resistance | GB/T 2918 tested | GB/T 2918 tested |
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this ADSS cable rodent-proof?
Three layers of protection: FRP armor rods in helical lay for physical bite resistance, an anti-rodent outer HDPE jacket with embedded chemical deterrents, and double-jacket construction for overall mechanical integrity. Tested to GB/T 2918 rodent bite resistance standard.
What crush resistance does FRP armored ADSS achieve?
Long-term crush resistance of 4000 N/100mm or higher, with impact resistance 10 J or greater per IEC 60794-1 E4 — significantly exceeding standard dielectric ADSS cable ratings.
Is the FRP armor electrically conductive?
No. FRP (fiber-reinforced plastic) is fully non-metallic and non-conductive, maintaining all-dielectric properties for safe co-location on power infrastructure without induced current or lightning conduction risks.
What span range does this cable support?
200M to 1000M spans, suitable for long-distance aerial deployments in wildlife-prone areas including agricultural zones, forested regions, and tropical environments.
How does FRP armor compare to steel tape armor?
FRP provides comparable physical protection to steel tape while maintaining all-dielectric properties. No grounding required, no lightning risk, corrosion-immune, and lighter weight — with higher crush resistance ratings.
