Results in economical use of duct space and facilitates
installation
All-dielectric cable construction
Requires no grounding or bonding
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 all-dielectric cables are lightweight,
reduced-diameter loose tube cables designed for duct
and aerial (lashed) installation. The loose tube design
provides stable performance over a wide temperature
range and is compatible with any telecommunica-
tions-grade optical fiber.
