ATLANTA — Superior Essex, a manufacturer and supplier of communications cable and accessory products serving the communications industry, is streamlining fiber-optic network installations with new all dielectric self support (ADSS) product line.

EnduraSpan, a new fiber-based small and lightweight single-jacket self-support cable geared towards both short- and long-span aerial applications.
