ALTOS® Figure-8 Loose Tube, Gel-Free Cable 96 F, Single-mode (OS2)

Part Number:
096EUA-T4101D20
Corning ALTOS® figure-8 gel-free cables are self-supporting aerial cables designed for easy and economical one-step installation. The loose tube design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber. The gel-free design is fully waterblocked using craft-friendly water-swellable materials, making cable access simple and requiring no clean up. While the flexible, craft-friendly buffer tubes are easy to route in closures, the SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates optical fibers from installation and environmental rigors and facilitates mid-span access.The figure-8 cable design allows easy, one-step installation, using standard hardware and installation methods. These cables have a medium density
polyethylene jacket that is rugged, durable and easy to strip.
