Description
Waveoptics® Central Loose Tube Armored Cable is designed for direct-buried installation, as well as for duct and aerial (lashed) installation.
Single dry loose tube made of PBT which provides great mechanical properties under a wide range of conditions such as crush test and impact test.
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. Two ripcords ensure a quick fiber access.
The cable contains water blocking glass yarn that helps increase tensile strength and also provides protection against water penetration.
Corrugated steel armor makes a rugged cable rodent deterrent and offers exceptional performance against compression.
