Double Jacket, Single Armor, Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable
Armored loose tube fiber optic cable delivers increased carrying capacity with enhanced durability. A layer of corrugated steel armor and two robust medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) jackets offer the strength and rodent resistance needed for demanding applications, including direct burials in rugged terrain.
Features
– Fiber counts from 2 to 24
– design for easier handling and water resistance
– PE-coated electrolytically chromesheathed steel (ECCS) armor
– Two robust MDPE jackets for added mechanical protection and resistance to chewing rodents
– Ribbons uniquely marked for quick identification
Benefits
– Increased carrying capacity for high-growth applications
– Enhanced compressive strength and rodent resistance for the toughest installations
– Efficient, cost-effective mass fusion splicing
– Meets or exceeds all Telcordia Technologies GR-20 performance specifications
