Description
Waveoptics® Central Loose Tube All-Dielectric Flat Ribbon Cable Dry is the most commonly-deployed outdoor cable, 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. They are known because of their outstanding carrying capacity and compact design.
Gel-free water blocking technology allows a cleaner and quicker installation as well as a cost-friendly cable preparation. 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. Dielectric strength members require no bonding or grounding.
Two ripcords ensure a quick fiber access.
