EnduraGain OSP Unshielded is a robust category cable designed to provide an extension of the LAN beyond the premises or in situations where the NEC code requires an OSP-rated cable when it is in contact with earth, whether in a conduit or not. The cable consists of a core of four (4) balanced twisted pairs surrounded by Superior Essex PFM gel that does not drip or flow, even in cell tower applications at elevated temperatures. The core is jacketed with a sunlight and abrasion resistant black, polyethylene outer jacket. This unshielded design is suitable for the following deployments: duct, underground conduit and tower. EnduraGain OSP Unshielded is available in a variety of performances including CAT 5e, CAT 6 and CAT 6A. An optional Aluminum Interlock Armor with overjacket is also available (not suitable for tower deployment).
