D-Series Distribution – Corrugated Steel Tape (CST) Armored Cables
Installation zone RECOMMENDATION1

1
DX-Series Distribution Cable series with corrugated steel tape (CST) armoring. Ideal for installation where direct burial or rodent protection is required. The steel-armor is easily removed with an internal ripcord, leaving a fully functional intact DX-Series Distribution riser-rated inner cable with original cable marking for identification.
Applications
- Ideal for use in point-to-point runs in between buildings
- Ideal for installation where direct burial or rodent protection is required
- Inner tight-buffered cable is suitable for direct field termination with standard optical connectors
- 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
- 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
