Product Description
This cable has been designed for long haul duct / backbone application. Our stranded
loose tube design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and
is compatible with any telecommunication grade optical fiber. Duct type Fiber Optical
Cables are designed for easy and economical installation.
The stranded loose tubes contain thixotropic jelly but the cable core is based on
dry-block construction. Incorporation of Dry Water Block Technology eliminates the
need for traditional jelly filled water blocking methods, thus providing efficient
and craft-friendly cable installation.
The thixotropic jelly is used to fill the buffer tubes to prevent water ingress.
Length markings in meters for easy determination of cable length. Extra Strength
cable can also be delivered with Peripheral Strength Members.
