Key Features

• The easy-access jacket opens cleanly with a knife, and the 3.0 mm buffer tube protects fibers and separates easily from strength members during routing.
• Integrated external tracer wire simplifies post-installation locating and separates easily for grounding or maintenance.
• All-dielectric construction eliminates bonding or grounding; it is lightweight, flexible, and kink-resistant.
• The single buffer tube cable drastically reduces waste compared to multi-loose tube designs.
• Advanced dry water-blocking materials allow rapid, clean preparation and termination, reducing installation time.
• The compact, high-strength design provides excellent aerial and duct performance. It is also crush-resistant and suitable for direct burial.
• The slim and stiff design works well for override placement in duct (i.e. new drop installation)
• Dual dielectric strength members improve flexibility and handling, making coiling easy without steel reinforcement.
• Durable high-density polyethylene (HDPE) jacket ensures low-friction installation and protection from UV, moisture, and impact.
• Printed sheath markings provide clear identification and precise length verification during setup.
• Meets Telcordia GR-20 and ICEA 717 standards; BABA-compliant configurations available upon request.
