Eliminates the need for traditional flooding compound
and provides efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation
Dielectric central strength member
No preferential bend and requires no bonding or ground-
ing
Medium-density polyethylene jacket
Makes cable rugged and durable while being flexible and
easy to strip
ALTOS
®
Lite™ single-jacket, single-armored cables,
enhanced are lightweight, reduced-diameter, armored
cables designed for direct burial, duct and aerial (lashed)
installation. The loose tube design provides stable perfor-
mance over a wide temperature range and is compatible
with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber.
