Results in economical use of duct space and facilitates
installation
Corrugated steel tape armor
Provides rodent resistance for direct-buried applications
Innovative waterblocking technology
Eliminates the need for traditional flooding compound
and provides efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation
Medium-density polyethylene jacket
Rugged, durable and easy to strip (while providing supe-
rior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and
other environmental factors)
Corning ALTOS
®
RD Lite™ single-jacket, single-armored
cables are rugged, armored cables with a reduced diam-
eter designed for direct-buried, 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.
