ALTOS® Lite Loose Tube, Gel-Free, Single-Jacket, Single-Armored Cables with FastAccess® Technology 24 F, SMF-28® Ultra fiber, Single-mode (OS2)
Corning ALTOS® Lite gel-free, single-jacket, singlearmored cables with FastAccess® technology are designed for direct-buried installations. The innovative FastAccess technology feature combined with the gel-free loose tube design simplifies removal of the cable jacket and accessing the buffer tubes. The gel-free design means the cables are fully waterblocked using craft-friendly water-swellable materials which makes cable access simple and require no clean up.The loose tube design uses Corning's SMF-28® Ultra fiber to provide reliable transmission parameters for a variety of voice, data, video and imaging applications. The flexible buffer tubes are easy to route in closures, and the SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates fibers from installation and environmental rigors while allowing easy midspan access.The single-armored construction provides additional crush and rodent protection.These cables have a medium-density polyethylene jacket that is rugged, durable and easy to strip.
ALTOS® Lite FastAccess® Technology
Corning's ALTOS Lite FastAccess Technology refers to the combination of a Corning FastAccess Technology jacket with an innovative technology used to bind cable construction through the manufacturing process, eliminating the use of binder yarns and waterblocking tapes and up to a 60 percent improvement in cable access time. These technologies also reduce the overall risk of inadvertent fiber damage by reducing the need for sharp cable access tools.
Product Features:
- Stranded optical core: Elimination of overlapping yarn binders around stranded tubes to reduce end access time
- Fully waterblocked loose tube all-dielectric gel-free design: Simple access and no clean up
- Single-armored construction: Provides additional crush and rodent protection
- Polyethylene jacket: Rugged, durable and easy to strip (while providing superior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and other environmental factors)
- Available with Corning's SMF-28® Ultra fiber: ITU-T G.652 D and ITU-T G.657 A1 compliant fiber ready for any application
