When power grids hum with electricity, the unseen backbone of their reliability lies in fiber optic communication—enter ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) optical cable. As a pivotal component of modern fiber optic networks, ADSS redefines efficiency with game-changing advantages: it installs without power shutdowns, slashing operational downtime; resists extreme temperature cycles for exceptional anti-aging; boasts a lightweight design reducing ice/wind loads on towers; and achieves spans >1000m, adapting to complex terrains. These strengths made it a cornerstone for fiber network operators like Weihai Power Supply Company, which deployed ADSS outdoor fiber cables on 220kV existing towers—until electrocorrosion threatened this fiber optic technology.

The Silent Threat to Fiber Optic Connectivity
Electrocorrosion targets ADSS fiber cables at suspension points near high-voltage conductors. Contaminated fiber optic cable surfaces in humid environments form conductive layers, inducing leakage currents. As currents heat the optical fiber cable, "dry bands" trigger arcs (>500℃), melting the sheath and exposing fiber optic cores—jeopardizing grid communication integrity.
Engineering a Global Solution: FD-X90 Nano-Coating
To address this fiber optic cable vulnerability, Weihai partnered with fiber optic equipment innovator Oyi International Ltd. Their joint R&D team engineered the FD-X90 Special Inorganic Nano-Coating, delivering multi-layered protection:

Waterproof & Self-Cleaning – Prevents conductive dirt buildup on optical cable surfaces.
Oxidation Resistance – Suppresses dry band formation, critical for outdoor fiber cable longevity.
Hyper-Insulation – Minimizes leakage currents below arc thresholds.
Extreme Heat Resistance (>1000℃) – Shields fiber optic light cores from arcing damage.
Validation in Crisis: Blizzard Field Test
In 2005, Weihai applied FD-X90 to 400 towers’ ADSS fiber drop cables on 220kV lines.

When a historic blizzard struck:
Uncoated armored fiber sections suffered severe electrocorrosion.FD-X90-coated fiber optic cable installations remained intact.Post-storm inspections through 2007 confirmed zero corrosion—proving its role in resilient fiber optic connectivity solutions.
Redefining the Future of Optical Fiber Networks
Today, ADSS fiber optic cable types fortified with FD-X90 underpin global smart grids. This synergy transcends cable protection: it enables uninterrupted optical fiber cable in networking, ensuring fiber optic connectivity for critical infrastructure. Oyi’s global reach (143 countries, 268 clients) positions FD-X90 as a universal safeguard for fiber optic cable installations—elevating grid resilience through advanced fiber optic technology.
