The Dry Block, Sunlight Resistant Indoor/Outdoor, Tight Buffer RiserRated Cable line offers the system designer the ultimate in premises optical fiber cable utility. These cables can be installed in open spaces, trays, conduits, inner-ducts, trenches, steam tunnels and building riser locations. These cables incorporate the latest in dry water-blocking technology. This system of water blocking eliminates the need to clean off the traditional gel-based water-blocking compounds found in loose tube cables. In addition, breakout kits and or other special termination equipment associated with loose tube Outside Plant (OSP) cables are not required. The outer jacket is comprised of a durable UL® Listed, sunlight resistant, black polymer that allows for the cable to be exposed to longterm direct sunlight without the concern of material degradation. All fiber types are available, including 50/125 μm, 62.5/125 μm and single mode.
