Description
Central Loose Tube All-Dielectric Cables Gel-Filled are the most commonly-deployed outdoor cables, because of its price and its installation flexibility, since these cables can be installed both in aerial (lashed) installations as well as in ducts through the following techniques: air-blown, jetted or pulled into a duct.
Single loose tube made of PBT which provides great mechanical properties under a wide range of conditions such as crush test and impact test, and is filled with water blocking gel.
PE single jacket with additives makes a resistant, durable and easy to strip cable, providing superior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and other environmental factors.
The cable contains glass yarn that helps increase tensile strength.
