09-124-92 Superior Essex CASPIC -FSF RDUP PE-89

Loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Outside Plant (OSP) environments. The rugged loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad temperature range. Optical fibers are placed inside filled buffer tubes containing PFM gel. The core is constructed by stranding the buffer tubes around a central member using a reverse oscillating lay (ROL). The core is wrapped with flexible strength members and covered with a water-blocking tape. A corrugated steel armor is applied and encased with a black inner jacket. More water-blocking yarns, a corrugated steel armor and a black outer jacket complete the cable construction. Rip cords are included under each armor for ease of entry.
