Sherpa CMS™ ADSS Cable Management System

• A patent-pending dielectric system enabling attachment of dielectric drop cables to ADSS trunk cables
• Can significantly reduce make-ready for some networks
• For many networks, can significantly speed installation in comparison to strand and lashed networks deployed from scratch
• Tested for reliability impact
• Can increase drop cable ranges by trunk cables
• Can reduce effective span length and sags when applied to a neutral
• EPDM rubber for long-term reliability
• Fast and easy installation
• Aesthetically clean

The Sherpa CMS ADSS Cable Management System is a non-metallic (EPDM rubber) way to attach cables on a span.

There are different versions:

1. Attach flat and/or round drops to ADSS trunk cables to simplify ADSS-based fiber-optic networks, primarily for electrical coop and municipal FTTH applications.

2. Attach ADSS trunk cables to a neutral or other metallic messengers to decrease effective ADSS span lengths and sag under load

3. Attach 2 ADSS trunk cables together

Sherpa CMS attachments are designed and manufactured for specific cable combinations. If the combination of interest is not included below, please contact Lightera. New combinations can be developed as appropriate.

Sherpa CMS may affect span length recommendations for a given combination of cables. Please contact Lightera or your cable manufacturer for more information.
