Provides efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation
Medium-density polyethylene jacket
Makes cable rugged and durable while being flexible and
easy to strip
Corning ALTOS
®
double-jacket dielectric cables are
designed for duct and aerial (lashed) installation. The
double-jacket construction adds a layer of protection for
harsh environments. The loose tube cable design pro-
vides stable performance over a wide temperature range
and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade
optical fiber.
