1A1443101 Superior Essex Loose Tube Double Jacket Single Armor

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 covered with a water-blocking tape then encased with a black inner jacket. Water-blocking yarns and a corrugated steel armor are applied and a black outer jacket completes the cable construction. Rip cords are included under the inner jacket and armor for ease of entry.
