Corning 6 to 432 Fiber Single and Multimode Altos Loose Tube Gel-Filled Single Jacket Armored Cable

Product Details

Corning ALTOS® Lite single-jacket, single-armored cables are lightweight, reduced-diameter, armored cables designed for direct-buried, 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
• 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)
