Figure-8 Cable Suspension Fitting SSA-0
The SSA-0 supports figure-8 fibre optic cables over short spans in outdoor FTTX networks. It accommodates different cable diameters and messenger types within its specified range.
Features
- Two-sided clamping arrangement
- Straightforward, tool-free fitting
- Suitable for straight FTTH routes
- Designed to protect the cable jacket and messenger insulation
- Mounting options include stainless-steel banding, pole bolts and hooks
- UV-resistant thermoplastic combined with galvanized steel
- Reliable performance outdoors
- Cost-effective cable support
Application
Install the SSA-0 at intermediate poles on aerial telecommunications lines to support figure-8 fibre optic cables. It allows controlled cable movement while limiting wear on the messenger. Typical applications include broadband distribution, FTTH access networks and outdoor fibre infrastructure requiring dependable suspension and durable service.

Ultimate tensile strength testing evaluates a product’s capacity to withstand mechanical pulling loads. Opposing tensile forces are applied to a specimen until it deforms or fails. The resulting measurements provide information on elongation, yield point, tensile strength and ultimate strength.
Tensile testing is used to assess pole-line suspension clamps, preformed guy grips, ADSS dead-end fittings, stainless steel bands, FTTH drop clamps and tension clamps.
For overhead optical cables and their accessories, endurance testing combines mechanical and thermal loading with oscillating stresses. The applicable test values depend on the requirements of IEC 61284.
Such tests can be conducted before product release and during routine production to assess conformity with the applicable quality requirements.
