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.
