ALTOS® Lite Loose Tube, Gel-Free, SingleJacket, Single-Armored Cables with FastAccess® Technology

SMF-28® Ultra fiber, Single-mode (OS2)

Corning ALTOS® cable with Binderless* FastAccess® technology is an all -dielectric gel -free cable designed for outdoor and limited indoor use for lashed aerial and duct installations. The innovative FastAccess technology feature combined with the gel -free binderless loose tube design simplifies removal of the cable jacket and accessing the buffer tubes. The loose tube design uses Corning's SMF -28® Ultra fiber to provide reliable transmission parameters for a variety of voice, data, video and imaging applications. The cable is fully waterblocked using craft -friendly, water -swellable materials, which means no cleanup is required. 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 all -dielectric gel -free cable construction requires no bonding or grounding, and these cables have a polyethylene jacket that is rugged, durable and easy to handle.

Features and Benefits:

ALTOS® Lite FastAccess® Technology Corning's ALTOS Lite FastAccess Technology refers to the combination of a Corning FastAccess Technology jacket with an innovative technology used to bind cable construction through the manufacturing process, eliminating the use of binder yarns and waterblocking tapes and up to a 60 percent improvement in cable access time. These technologies also reduce the overall risk of inadvertent fiber damage by reducing the need for sharp cable access tools.

Stranded optical core:

Elimination of overlapping yarn binders around stranded tubes to reduce end access time

Fully waterblocked loose tube all-dielectric gel-free design:

Simple access and no clean up

Polyethylene jacket:

Rugged, durable and easy to strip (while providing superior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and other environmental factors)

Available with Corning's SMF-28® Ultra fiber:

ITU-T G.652 D and ITU-T G.657 A1 compliant fiber ready for any application​​​​​​​
