Provides efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation
SZ-stranded, loose tube design
Isolates fibers from installation and environmental rigors
and facilitates mid-span access
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
®
all-dielectric cables, enhanced are lightweight
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
telecommunications-grade optical fiber.
