Overview
For duct and lashed aerial installations, consider
Fitel Lucent Technologies’ classic outside plant (OSP)
cable offering – Single Jacket loose tube fiber optic cable.
This lightweight cable offers the durability and flexibility
required for many OSP uses.
Design
The performance of Single Jacket OSP cable begins
with Fitel Lucent Technologies’ proven loose tube
design. Your choice of high-quality singlemode,
multimode, AllWave™ matched clad and TrueWave® RS
nonzero-dispersion fiber is placed within gel-filled
buffer tubes, providing a stress-free operating
environment. The color-coded buffer tubes are then
stranded around a dielectric or metallic central member
using the reverse oscillating lay (ROL) technique.
This enables quick and easy mid-span entry. Dielectric
strength elements and a polyethylene jacket complete
the construction – producing a cable that’s easy to install
yet which can withstand the rigors of the outdoors.
• Applications
• Lightweight, flexible, small diameter cable ideal
for duct and lashed aerial use
• Dielectric and metallic central member options
to suit your application
• DryBlock™ water-blocking technology for a
more craft-friendly, jelly-free cable core – permitting
quicker cable prep and splicing
Features & Advantages
• Fiber counts up to 288 for high-density
communications capacity
• Singlemode, TrueWave RS nonzero-dispersion,
AllWave matched clad and multimode fiber for
the performance you need
• Hybrid (fiber/copper) and composite (mix of fiber
types) cable designs for special applications
• 600-pound (2700 N) rated pulling tension enables
long pulls without concern for fiber damage
• Dielectric or steel central member options
• ROL stranding permits quick and easy mid-span entry
• Ripcord for fast sheath removal
• SYSTIMAX® SCS approved design (subject to Lucent
Technologies’ SYSTIMAX terms and conditions)
• RUS listed and meets Telcordia Technologies
(formerly Bellcore) specifications
• ISO 9001 certified manufacturer
