Product Details

Corning ALTOS® gel-free double-jacket, dielectric cables are designed for duct and aerial (lashed) installation. The double-jacket construction adds a layer of protection for harsh environments. The loose tube cable design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber.

Features And Benefits:
• Two jacket layers - Provides extra protection in harsh environments
• Flexible, craft-friendly buffer tubes - Facilitate easy routing in closures
• Gel-free waterblocking technology - Craft-friendly cable preparation
• Polyethylene jacket - Rugged, durable and easy to strip (while providing superior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and other environmental factors)
• Exceeds the RDUP requirements for mid-span buffer tube slack storage - Provides flexibility for mid-span access applications
