012KU4-T4730D20
Corning ALTOS® cable with FastAccess® technology is an alldielectric gel-free
cable designed for outdoor and limited indoor use for campus backbones in
lashed aerial and duct installations. The innovative FastAccess technology
feature combined with the all-dielectric gel-free loose tube design simplifies
removal of the cable jacket reducing cable end access time by at least 50
percent. Equally important is the overall reduction in risk of inadvertent
fiber damage and risk to installers from sharp cable access tools. The cable
is fully waterblocked using craft-friendly, water-swellable materials, which
means no clean up is required. 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 mid-span access. The
all-dielectric gel-free cable construction requires no bonding or grounding,
and these cables have a medium-density polyethylene jacket that is rugged,
durable and easy to handle. A variety of fiber types are available including
62.5 μm and 50 μm, single-mode and hybrid versions, as well as fibers with
Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance.
