Two jacketed layers and two steel tape armor layers
Provide superior rodent resistance for direct-buried ap-
plications
Flexible, craft-friendly buffer tubes
Facilitate easy routing in closures
Cable core features innovative waterblocking tech-
nology
Eliminates the need for traditional flooding compound
and provides efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation
Medium-density polyethylene jacket
Makes cable rugged and durable while being flexible and
easy to strip
ALTOS
®
Lite™ double-jacket, double-armored cables are
rugged cables designed for direct-buried installations.
The loose tube design provides stable performance over
a wide temperature range and is compatible with any
telecommunications-grade optical fiber.
