Loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Outside Plant (OSP) applications. Single Loose tube cables offer a low cost alternative to traditional stranded loose tube cables. Armored cables are designed for improved mechanical and rodent protection in direct bury applications. The loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad temperature range. The durable single loose tube design features optical fibers placed inside a single PFM™ gel-filled tube. The core tube includes up to 8-fiber bundles, each containing up to 12 optical fibers bound with a color coded binder. The core is wrapped with flexible strength members and covered with a water-blocking tape. A corrugated steel armor is applied and then encased with a black jacket. Rip cords are included under the armor for ease of access to the core tube.
