- Outdoor aerial installations along utility poles for cable television, telecom or other outside plant campus backbone applications without the need for cable lashing or grounding
Features
- Lightweight, all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) construction is ideal for use near electrical power lines and in areas of frequent lightning
- No messenger or lashing is required
- Round cable construction for minimum wind drag and ice buildup
- Aramid strength members reduce weight for longer span lengths
- Wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C
- 900μm tight buffer eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming installation of fanout kits or pigtail splices, because connectors terminate directly to the fiber
- Standard with Ultra-Fox Plus fiber (500μm)
