Product Details
Corning ALTOS® Lite gel-free double-jacket, double-armored cables are rugged cables designed for direct-buried installations. The loose tube design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber.
Features And Benefits:
• Two jacket layers and two steel tape armor layers - Provides superior rodent resistance for direct-buried applications
• Flexible, craft-friendly buffer tubes - Facilitate easy routing in closures
• Gel-free water blocking 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
