Standards
National : ANSI/ICEA S-87-640; Telcordia GR-20Description
Nexans' Outdoor Dry Tube Jacket Loose Tube cables are available in multimode, single-mode and GIGAlite™ fibers.
Buffer Tube Construction
Tubes contain water-blocking yarn and up to 12, 250 µm, individually colored fibers.
Outdoor Consideration
Nexans recommends that loose tube cables be utilized in an outside plant installation environment. Loose tube cables are especially recommended if the interbuilding conduit system is above the frost line and likely to fill with water.
