Superior Essex now offers long-span Figure 8 optical fiber cables using a ½” or ?” messenger which can span lengths greater than 1,000 feet. Loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Outside Plant (OSP) applications. Loose tube self support cables are designed for use in aerial applications as an alternative to lashing. These cables reduce installation time and costs. The durable loose tube design features optical fibers placed inside gel-free buffer tubes. The core is constructed by stranding the buffer tubes around a central member using a reverse oscillating lay (ROL). The core is wrapped with flexible strength members, a water-blocking tape and then encased with a black jacket and an integrated EHS steel messenger. A rip cord is included under the jacket for ease of entry.
