      • Ideal for installation where direct burial or rodent protection is required
      • OFCR rated to allow entry into riser spaces in unlimited lengths

      Applications

      • Ideal for installation where direct-burial or rodent protection is required
      • Ideal for installations requiring an extremely rugged and reliable cable design where maximum mechanical and environmental protection are necessary

      Features

      • High-performance components and construction
      • The steel-armor is easily removed with an internal ripcord, leaving a fully functional intact D-Series Distribution riser-rated inner cable with original cable marking for identification
      • Ideal for use in point-to-point runs in between buildings
      • Inner cable materials are Indoor/Outdoor: UV, water and fungus resistant
      • Polyethylene (A) outer jacket is UV, water and fungus resistant:  ideal for outdoor installations
      • Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to + 85°C
      • High-performance 900µm tight-buffered coating on each optical fiber for environmental and mechanical protection 2 to 144 fibers
      • 900µm buffer eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming installation of fanout kits or pigtail splices because connectors terminate directly to the fiber
