Encased in a spirally wrapped, aluminum interlocking armor for ruggedness and superior crush resistance, these cables are ideal for industrial and heavy traffic areas and installations requiring extra protection for optical cables and for high-fiber-count trunking applications in areas with limited conduit or vault space. The riser rating precludes the need for a transition splice when entering the building. FREEDM Loose Tube Cables are available in 12 different jacket colors, enabling easy visual identification and segregation of cables while still providing all the required environmental protection of an indoor/outdoor cable jacket. Available in fiber counts up to 288 fibers, these cables are protected against water penetration by innovative (continued) FREEDM Loose Tube Cable Jacket is Available in 12 Color Options Photo 2791 PRETERMINATED SYSTEMS CABLES CONNECTORS CABLE ASSEMBLIES HARDWARE SPLICE CLOSURES TEST EQUIPMENT SPLICE EQUIPMENT TRAINING

2 waterblocking materials that swell to absorb water without the use of messy gels to provide more efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation. This waterblocking technology makes cable access easier and simplifies the use of buffer tube fan-out kits. The buffer tubes and fibers in each tube are color coded for quick, easy identification. The SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates fibers from installation, environmental rigors and allows for easy midspan access. Available in 50 μm, 62.5 μm, single-mode and hybrid versions, the cable design is also NEC (National Electrical Code ) listed (OFCR and FT-4). The flexible, interlocking armored design offers over seven times the crush protection compared to unarmored cables (as characterized to ICEA-696) and allows easy one-step installation which reduces the overall installation costs. The UV-resistant, flameretardant jacket is rugged, durable and easy to strip.
