Product Details

Corning ALTOS® low-temperature cables are designed for extreme cold temperature environments with an extended operating range of -50º to +70ºC (-58º to +158ºF). Dielectric and armored jackets allow for duct, direct-buried or aerial (lashed) installation.

Features And Benefits:
• Extended operating temperature range of -50º to +70ºC (-58º to +158ºF) - Allows for operation at extreme low temperatures
• Flexible, craft-friendly buffer tubes - Facilitate easy routing in closures
• Innovative waterblocking design - Provides efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation
• SZ-stranded, loose tube design - Isolates fibers from installation and environmental rigors and facilitates mid-span access
• Dielectric central strength member - No preferential bend and requires no bonding or grounding
• Polyethylene jacket - Rugged, durable and easy to strip (while providing superior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and other environmental factors)
