Three jacket 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
Exceeds the RDUP requirements for mid-span buffer
tube slack storage
Provides flexibility for mid-span access applications
ALTOS
®
gel-free triple-jacket, double-armored cables are
rugged armored cables designed for direct-buried instal-
lations. The loose tube design provides stable perfor-
mance over a wide temperature range and is compatible
with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber.
