Description
Product Overview
The Anti-Rodent All-Dielectric Self-Supporting ADSS Aerial Cable is purpose-built for installations in environments with high rodent activity — agricultural areas, forested regions, and tropical climates. A specialized anti-rodent HDPE jacket with capsaicin-based chemical deterrent additives and enhanced wall thickness (≥1.8mm) provides robust protection without compromising the all-dielectric design.
Unlike metallic armored alternatives, this cable maintains 100% all-dielectric construction — zero metallic components — making it fully safe for co-location on energized power lines in high-EMI environments. No grounding required, no lightning conduction risk, no corrosion concerns.

Applications
- Agricultural Fiber Networks: Farmland deployments where rodent populations damage standard cables within months of installation.
- Forested Power Line Corridors: Aerial spans through wooded areas with high squirrel and rodent activity.
- Tropical & Subtropical Regions: Warm, humid climates where rodent populations thrive year-round and cable damage rates are highest.
- Distribution Line Co-Location: Safe installation on medium-voltage (≤35kV) distribution lines in rural areas with documented rodent problems.
Anti-Rodent Technology: How It Works
The anti-rodent protection is built into the jacket material itself — not a coating that can wear off:
- Capsaicin-Based Deterrent: Embedded directly into the HDPE compound during extrusion. Rodents find the taste and smell strongly aversive and abandon gnawing attempts within seconds.
- Enhanced Wall Thickness: At ≥1.8mm, the jacket is significantly thicker than standard ADSS jackets (typically 1.2–1.5mm), providing additional mechanical resistance to bites.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Unlike surface coatings, the embedded deterrent remains effective for the full service life of the cable (25+ years).

FAQ
The HDPE outer jacket incorporates capsaicin-based chemical deterrent additives with enhanced wall thickness (≥1.8mm), making the cable unpalatable to rodents. The deterrent is embedded throughout the jacket material, not just surface-coated.
The capsaicin additive is distributed throughout the entire jacket thickness during extrusion. Even as the surface naturally wears over 25+ years, newly exposed material still contains the deterrent.
Yes. The anti-rodent ADSS uses zero metal components — safe for co-location on power lines up to 110kV without grounding requirements.
