This loose tube fibre optic cable is engineered for compactness and ease of installation in constrained duct environments. Its reduced diameter allows for more fibres per conduit, optimising duct utilisation. A black polyethylene (PE) outer jacket provides environmental durability, with a nylon layer for termite resistance. Aramid yarns and FRP rods add tensile strength, while dry water-blocking materials enable clean, tool-free handling during installation.

The cable supports duct and direct burial applications, and is suitable for broadband, enterprise, carrier, and utility infrastructure builds. Available in configurations from 6 to 96 fibres, with a variety of optical fibre types, this construction ensures stability in long-haul, metro and campus network deployments.
