In a recent deployment for a regional telecom operator in Madagascar, Electrum Mauritius Ltd was tasked with delivering a fully customised hardware solution for an ADSS fiber optics project in one of the island’s most demanding environments. The challenge: design a system capable of spanning over 120 meters, while enduring the intense wind loads of tropical cyclones, high UV radiation, and corrosive coastal conditions.

Electrum designed, developed, and manufactured a dedicated anchoring clamp together with a custom ADSS fiber optic cable, ensuring both components were precisely matched for mechanical performance and environmental durability. This clamp was specifically engineered to meet the long-span requirements of the project and to guarantee a secure and lasting installation in extreme outdoor settings.

The anchoring clamp features a self-adjusting wedge mechanism, which protects the cable jacket while allowing for fast, tool-free installation using open wire bails. Its construction combines UV-stabilised polymers and corrosion-resistant materials, offering resilience under sustained environmental stress.

As part of a complete system delivery, Electrum also provided Universal Pole Brackets (UBPs), Stainless Steel Banding Buckles, ADSS Cable Storage Brackets, and Suspension Clamps—each element selected for compatibility and ease of deployment.

What set this project apart was not just product quality, but Electrum’s end-to-end engineering approach—from technical design to manufacturing and on-site performance. Every component was developed to function seamlessly together, reducing installation time and ensuring system longevity.

“This project illustrates what Electrum does best,” notes a senior technical advisor. “We don’t just supply products—we engineer solutions that work under pressure, in real-world conditions.”
