ALTOS® HD FastAccess® Technology
With the combination of a jacket with an innovative technology used to bind cable construction through the manufacturing process, eliminating the use of binder yarns and waterblocking tapes and up to a 60 percent improvement in cable access time. These technologies also reduce the overall risk of inadvertent fiber damage by reducing the need for sharp cable access tools.
Polyethylene jacket
Rugged, durable and easy to strip (while providing superior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and other environmental factors)
Fully waterblocked loose tube all-dielectric gel-free design
Simple access and no clean up
Single-armored construction
Provides additional crush and rodent protection
Available in Corning's 62.5 µm and 50 µm multimode, standard single-mode (G.652.D, G.657.A1), dispersion shifted single-mode (G.655, G.654), and hybrid versions
Ready for any application from Gigabit Ethernet all the way to ≥ 800G Long Haul
