Corning 12 to 432 Fiber Single and Multimode Altos Double Jacket Single Armored Cable

Product Details

ALTOS® double-jacket, single-armored cables are rugged, armored cables designed for direct-buried installation while suitable for duct and aerial (lashed) installation. The loose tube design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber.

Features And Benefits:
• Flexible, craft-friendly buffer tubes - Facilitate easy routing in closures
• Two jacket layers and two steel tape armor layers - Provide superior rodent resistance for direct-buried applications
• Innovative waterblocking design - Provides efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation
• 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)
