Loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Outside Plant (OSP) environments. The durable loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad temperature range. Optical fibers are placed inside filled buffer tubes containing PFM™ gel. The core is constructed by stranding the buffer tubes around a central member using a reverse oscillating lay (ROL). The core is wrapped with flexible strength members covered with a water-bSuperior Essex Cable Loose Tube Triple Jacket Double Armor Series 1C Cable

Loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Outside Plant (OSP) environments. The durable loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad temperature range. Optical fibers are placed inside filled buffer tubes containing PFM™ gel. The core is constructed by stranding the buffer tubes around a central member using a reverse oscillating lay (ROL). The core is wrapped with flexible strength members covered with a water-blocking tape, then encased in a black inner jacket. Flexible strength members are applied with a corrugated steel armor and an intermediate black jacket. Another layer of flexible strength members with a corrugated steel armor and a black outer jacket completes the cable construction. Rip cords are included under the inner jacket and each armor for ease of entry.
