Techlogiks loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Indoor/Outdoor environments. The loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad temperature range. Optical Fibers are placed inside filled buffer tubes containing gel. The core is constructed by stranding the buffer tubes around a central member. Glass Yarns and a black outer jacket are applied. Rip cords are included under outer jacket for ease of entry.
Standards Compliance: Telecordia GR-20, IEC 60794, EIA/TIA, ITU-T, EN187000, RUS1755.900
Applications: Indoor and Outdoor, Trunk, distribution and feeder cable, Local loop, metro, long-haul and broadband network
Advantages: High fiber density, Multiple network applications, Reduces cable prep and installation time, Reduces cost, Installation of more fibers in less space.
