This outdoor optic fiber cable features a corrugated steel armored structure with a central loose tube design, supporting 2-24 cores for reliable performance in external environments.
Troubleshooting assistance and system compatibility solutions, available whenever you need them.
Tailored fiber count, length, and sheath color options to meet your specific requirements.
Optical fibers are housed in a loose tube made of high-modulus plastic, filled with water-resistant gel compound. The tube is longitudinally wrapped with corrugated steel tape (PSP), and two parallel steel strength members are positioned symmetrically on both sides of the cable. An outer polyethylene (PE) sheath completes the robust, integrated cable structure—ideal for demanding outdoor environments.
Suitable for duct installation and aerial deployment (with messenger support). Commonly used in telecom access networks, FTTx, metropolitan area networks (MANs), utility communications, and industrial infrastructure.

Note on Zero-Dispersion Slope for MM:For multimode fibers, the value listed under “Zero-Dispersion Slope” in your original data appears to be a misplacement. Multimode fibers do not use zero-dispersion slope as a key parameter—this row is retained only to reflect your input, but it is not applicable in practice. OM3/OM4 are defined by bandwidth, not dispersion.
