Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cables
Applications
ADSS, Aerial, FTTx
Features and Benefits
- Industry-first, gel-free ADSS cable for cleaner, faster and less costly deployments
- Efficient, cost-effective solution for short cable spans ranging up to 1.150 feet (350 meters)
- Lighter weight, dry cable helps cut cable end preparation time
- Enables significant cost savings from the use of less costly attachment hardware
- Allows up to a 10% greater span length capability
- Fiber counts up to 144
- Single polyethylene outer jacket for fast, convenient cable preparation (suitable for distribution and low-voltage applications)
- Cleaner work environment helps support faster splicing with higher yields
- Small round profile minimizes wind and ice loading
- Environmentally-friendly cable helps reduce waste and the need for special cleaning solvents
- Single cable outer diameter for fiber counts of 2 to 60 for simplified hardware selection and splicing
- Available with OFS AllWave® Zero Water Peak (ZWP) Single-Mode, TrueWave® RS Low Water Peak (LWP) and multimode fibers
- Highly durable and reliable for short spans including FTTH deployments, distribution networks, direct use in ducts, aerial-to-duct transitions and aerial-to-underground installations
Rollable Ribbon in Loose Tube
- Outstanding carrying capacity for ultra-high-density applications
- Rugged loose tube design features OFS Rollable Ribbon technology in individual polypropylene buffer tubes
- Completely gel-free design facilitates faster cable preparation
- Fiber counts of up to 1728
- Standard ribbon print marking with numbers and blocks for identification
- Meets TelCordia GR-20 Issue 4 and ANSI/ICEA S-87-640 for outside plant (OSP) fiber optic cables
- Ribbon design enables smaller cable outer diameter (OD) and reduced weight versus comparable flat ribbon designs
- Rollable Ribbon structure facilitates efficient mass fusion splicing and easier access to individual fibers for mid-span splice access
