Product Details

Stranded Tube Ribbon Single Armor Cable is designed for Outside Plant (OSP) applications specifically direct bury installations. Our industry leading optical fiber ribbons are manufactured with high dimensional precision and low planarity which equates to low losses during mass fusion splicing. The stranded tube design features optical fibers ribbons placed inside gel-filled tubes. Each tube contains up to 12 discretely identified, 12-fiber ribbons for maximum design load capacity of 1,008 optical fibers. The core is helically wrapped with water-blocking strength members. A corrugated steel armor is applied over the stranded core. Rigid steel rods encased in a outer jacket completes the construction. Rip cords are included under the armor for ease of entry.
