Loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Outside Plant (OSP) environments. The durable loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad temperature range. Optical fibers are placed inside filled buffer tubes containing PFM™ gel. The core is constructed by stranding the buffer tubes around a central member using a reverse oscillating lay (ROL). The core is wrapped with flexible strength members covered with a water-blocking tape, then encased with a black jacket. A rip cord is included under the jacket for ease of entry.
Features:
• Available with up to 432-fiber
• Multiple fiber types including hybrids
• Central strength members available in metallic or dielectric
• Dry (SAP) core standard
• Standard tube size for all fiber counts
• PFM gel
Benefits:
• High fiber density
• Multiple network applications
• Metallic option offers ease of location, dielectric design eliminates grounding issues
• Reduces cable prep and installation time
• Reduces the number of tools required
• Non-sticky gel speeds fiber access and cleanup
