Fortex™ DT Single Jacket Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable

Product Description

OFS’ Fortex™ DT Single Jacket Loose Tube Cable delivers the durability and reliability essential for outside plant (OSP) use in an innovative, completely gel-free cable design.

To construct this all-dielectric cable, the optical fibers are placed in space-efficient, 2.5 mm buffer tubes that contain a specially-engineered, super-absorbent yarn that delivers water blocking “on demand.” The color-coded buffer tubes are then stranded around a dielectric central member using the reverse oscillating lay (ROL) stranding technique for easy, mid-span fiber access.

Additional gel-free, super-absorbent material is applied to the cable core to offer exceptional water-blocking performance and faster cable preparation. Dielectric strength elements, a ripcord, and a durable polyethylene jacket complete the cable construction.
