Single loose tube cables offer a low cost alternative to traditional stranded loose tube cables and the armor provides additional protection for certain environments. The highly flexible single tube reduces installation problems. The loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad temperature range. The single flex 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 covered with a water-blocking tape, a corrugated steel armor is applied and then encased with a black jacket containing rigid steel rods. Rip cords are included under the armor for ease of access to the core tube.
