Outside Plant Dry Loose Tube Cable

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.

Applications

Nexans' Outdoor Loose Tube fiber optic cable is intended for all high speed data applications, including:

• ETHERNET: 10BASE – 400GBASE (10BASE, 100BASE, 1000BASE, 10GBASE, 40GBASE, 100GBASE, 400GBASE)
• Fibre Channel: 1G-FC – 128GFC (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 128 GFC)
