Algeria joins ADSS 6-core optical cable
All-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cable is a type of that is strong enough to support itself between structures without using conductive metal elements. It connects six countries: Algeria, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Mali, and Mauritania. The 79 million euro project is co-funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the European Union (29 million euros) following a delegation agreement administered by the AfDB. Algeria has made significant progress in strengthening its digital infrastructure by completing a 2,600 km segment of fiber optics, a key component of the Trans-Saharan Fiber Optic Backbone project (DTS). ALGIERS-The secretary general of the ministry of Post and Telecommunication, Abdelouahab Bara, onSunday stressed Algeria's commitment to making the Trans-Saharan fibre-optic backbone project a reality, with the completion of the rollout of almost 2,600 km of fibre optic cable. In the realm of aerial fiber optic infrastructure—where cables must withstand harsh weather, high voltages, and mechanical stress— ADSS (All Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cables stand out as a game-changer. Designed specifically for deployment alongside power lines and utility poles, ADSS. From design to deployment — fully integrated fibre manufacturing in Algeria, ensuring consistent quality, reliable delivery and secure supply across Africa and the Middle East.
