Stranded loose tube cable is ideal for short and long haul backbone applications and can be installed in-duct or direct-buried. The water blocked, dry cable core stranded design suit blow-in applications. Whilst the Nylon is UV stabilised, AFL recommends the use of an additional sacrificial black polyethylene (PE) sheath where the cable will be directly exposed to UV rays. 

The tubes and fillers are laid around a central strength member and contained within a dry, water block cable core which is sheathed with an insect resistant Nylon jacket. Surface printing includes length marking at one metre intervals.
