DESCRIPTION

Corning stranded loose tube cables with smooth steel tape armoring is designed for outdoor use for campus, city and intercity backbones in duct and direct burial installations. The loose tube cable construction, by isolating the fibers from installations and environmental rigors, provides stable and highly reliable transmission parameters. The buffer tubes and fibers in each tube are color coded for quick and easy identification. The SZ-stranded construction further reduces installation and environmental influences on the transmission parameters and allows mid-span access. These cables are designed for installation in conduits, ducts, and for direct burial.
