Stranded Tube Ribbon Single Armor Cable is designed for Outside Plant (OSP) applications specically direct bury installations. Our industry leading optical fiber ribbons are manufactured with high dimensional precision and low planarity which equates to low losses duringmass fusion splicing. The stranded tube design features optical bers ribbons placed inside gel-lled tubes. Each tube contains up to 12 discretely identied, 12-ber ribbons for maximum design load capacity of 1,008 optical bers. The core is helically wrapped with waterblocking strength members. A corrugated steel armor is applied over the stranded core. Rigid steel rods encased in a outer jacket completes the construction. Rip cords are included under the armor for ease of entry.
