ArabicWhai is the Fiber Optic Cable Slack Storage?
Fiber optic cable slack storage specifically refers to a complete solution for storing, protecting, and managing excess ADSS optical cables in an overhead environment. Its core component is the cable storage bracket, commonly known as “optical fiber slack storage.”
It can safely accommodate 5-30m of fiber optic cables and can withstand strong winds.
Below, I’ll provide more information about ADSS overhead fiber optic cable slack storage.
Material
UV-resistant plastic – Perfectly withstands high temperature exposure and harsh environments, long service life.
Fiberglass – Significantly improves the mechanical strength of the slack ADSS cable storage while maintaining its lightweight, insulating, and corrosion-resistant advantages.
PP reinforcement – The outer shell utilizes a PP/fiberglass composite material with a density of 1.05 g/cm³ and is crack-resistant within a temperature range of -30°C to +60°C.
Stainless Steel Components – Made of 316/304 stainless steel straps, buckles, and bolts. They offer strong corrosion resistance even in wet environments, ensuring stable signal transmission.
Features of Aerial Cable Coiling Bracket
- The fiber cable storage bracket has a certain degree of insulation, which can avoid the potential difference with the ADSS optical cable and ensure stable signal transmission.
- It is easy and convenient to operate. You only need to fix the cable rack on the utility pole with a stainless steel band, and then use the stainless steel buckle to fix the stainless steel band. Then wrap the cable around it to complete the storage of the fiber optic cable.
- The streamlined disk design has low wind resistance and can withstand strong winds. It can ensure stable signal transmission in windy environments such as plateaus and power plants.
- Fiber optic cable slack storage is made of UV-resistant plastic and fiberglass, which is high in strength and cheap. The cost is only 70% of aluminum storage. It is the best hardware to choose for your project.
Usage scenarios of Fiber Optic Storage Racks
utility poles: It is used with stainless steel band straps to quickly secure and store fiber optic cables on utility poles.
Communication pole: used to store communication cables and provide plug-and-play spare cables for later maintenance, capacity expansion, and emergency repairs.
Wind farms: ADSS or OPGW optical cables are widely used between wind farm collector lines, wind turbine towers, and box-type transformers. Using slack storage for optical fibers can prevent the tower swing from directly pulling on the junction box and causing fiber breakage.
Municipal street light poles: With the popularization of 5G technology, cameras, environmental monitoring systems, edge computing gateways, and other devices all require fiber optic cables. To ensure port redundancy, equipment upgrades, and troubleshooting, 3–10 meters of fiber slack cable must be reserved on each light pole. Based on urban roadscape, O&M safety, and cost requirements, using fiber optic slack cable storage is your best solution.
Installation Steps for Fiber Optic Slack Storage
The ADSS aerial fiber optic cable slack storage is mainly used in urban factories and rural construction. Learn how to install it to make your project more organized.
- Step 1: Adjust the size of the storage bracket, tighten the screws.
- Step 2: Insert two stainless steel bands one by one, before tightening on the pole.
- Step 3: Tighten the band with the buckles using a ratchet strapping tool.
- Step 4: Insert the cable slack, coiled, and rewind the installation length for cable for termination with the box.
- Step 5: Tighten the coil by nylon ties.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the fiber optic cable storage？
The fiber optic cable storage(also called aerial cable coiling bracket, aerial fiber optic cable slack storage, slack cable storage, ADSS aerial fiber optic cable slack storage, Cable Wheel Slack Storage System) is a piece of hardware that stores, manages and protects redundant optical fiber cables.
Can the slack cable storage be installed in a small space?
Yes, the fiber optic slack storage can be mounted on a wall or pole, taking up virtually no space.
Why do fiber optic cables need to be stored?
During the maintenance of communication lines, optical fibers are used for splicing, equipment replacement, or line displacement. Therefore, it is particularly important to use optical fiber slack storage to protect and store excess optical fiber cables.
Is optical fiber slack storage difficult to install? Does it require a power outage?
It’s not difficult. A single person can complete the task in 5–10 minutes, without shutting down power for conventional municipal light poles. For railway or wind farm scenarios, safety procedures only need to be followed.
