4. Feasibility study of all-dielectric self-supporting cable networking for smart grid infrastructure

The landscape of the ICT industry has been transforming abruptly as its paradigm moves toward a human-centric system [67,68]. The ADSS cable can be said to be the next generation of optical fiber cable, as it has plastic on the top layer protecting the optical fiber and core constituting the strength member. It makes it versatile for use in T&D line communication [6971]. Since it lies below the live conductor in the transmission tower, live line installation is possible compared with OPGW, which needs a high outage time [72].
