FOS nylon jacket dielectric loose tube cable is suited to external underground installations in ducts by pulling, jetting or floating techniques or by direct burial in open-cut trenches.
Loose tube cable offers a cost-effective and rugged solution for medium and long distance external fibre runs.
FOS nylon jacket loose tube cable is available in OM1, OM3, OM4 and G652.D Singlemode.
