Stranded loose tube cable is ideal for short and long haul backbone applications and can be installed in-duct or direct-buried. The water blocked, dry cable core stranded design suits point-point and point-multipoint fibre installations where spur cables are spliced from the backbone. The addition of an outer black PE sheath protects the inner insect resistant Nylon barrier from damage during installation and is also recommended where the cable will be directly exposed to UV rays.
