ALTOS® HD Lite, Gel-Free, Single-Jacket, Single-Armored Cable with FastAccess® Technology

Corning® ALTOS® HD Lite gel-free, single-jacket, single-armored cables with FastAccess® technology are designed for direct-buried installations.

The 24 fiber high-density buffer tube provides a 30 oercent reduction in cable OD resulting in a 2x increase in fiber density. This improved density equals additional space for maximizing duct capacity. The innovative FastAccess technology feature combined with the gel-free loose tube design simplifies jacket removal and buffer tube access. The gel-free cable is fully waterblocked using craft-friendly water-swellable materials for simple access with no clean up.

The loose tube design employs Corning's suite of optical fiber to provide reliable transmission parameters for a variety of voice, data, video, imaging and network applications. The flexible buffer tubes are easy to route in closures, and the SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates fibers from installation and environmental rigors while allowing easy midspan access. The single-armored construction provides additional crush and rodent protection. These cables have a polyethylene jacket that is rugged, durable and easy to strip.
