CORNING 288EPG ALTOS Loose Tube Dielectric Armor Outdoor
Cable

Corning glass-yarn armored loose tube cables are designed for outdoor use for campus, city and intercity backbones in duct installations.

The loose -tube cable construction, by isolating the fibres from installations and environmental rigors, provides stable and highly reliable transmission parameters. The 2.0 mm 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 slim and lightweight cables are designed with a 1.1mm HDPE outher jacket for easy installation in conduits and ducts.

Features and Benefits

Laminated glass yarns
Improved rodent resistance

All-dielectric construction
Requires no grounding or bonding

UV and microbe resistant
Can be installed in ducts

Waterblocking technology
OSP (outdoor) applications

Fibres/buffer tubes colour coded to Telcordia-Bellcore
Easy identification of the individual tubes and fibres

Dry cable core by means of water-swellable tape and elements
Allows efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation in outdoor or indoor/outdoor applications
