Description

CommScope all dry outside plant stranded loose tube cables deliver the same proven quality and performance offered in all CommScope cabling solutions. The armored and all-dielectric designs are suitable for direct buried, aerial and conduit applications. The construction features the use of dry water blocking elements and reduced diameter buffer tubes, yielding a light weight, smaller cable. The result is a fiber optic cable that is an ideal transmission medium for the outside plant environment. These designs are available with any of the high performance CommScope fiber types, including TeraSPEED Zero Water Peak singlemode fiber and the LazrSPEED multimode fibers. The standard jacket material is Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), with an optional High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) jacket available. Additionally, the fiber and buffer tubes are color coded for easy identification. The CommScope all dry cable construction removes the need for filling gels and flooding compounds from the cable. This significantly reduces cable preparation time and eliminates the need for solvents and other consumables during cable preparation. These cables are designed to improve the cleanliness of the work environment and provides full water blocking protection for outside plant applications.
