Acting as the backbone for most of today’s fiber based systems, stranded fiber optic cables
play a critical role in the high speed network. AFL’s Non-Armored Loose Tube fiber optic cables
are designed to provide high fiber counts with the flexibility and versatility required for today’s
most demanding installations. Our cables feature fiber counts up to 576, compliance with EIA/
TIA and REA/RUS PE-90, and are S-Z stranded for easy mid-span access. Industry standard
designs combined with innovative technologies, such as a dry core product, yield a world class
cable that will support today’s and tomorrow’s technological needs.

Gigabit Ethernet Minimum Link Distances are based on “bandwidth”/modal dispersion constraints.
Actual link distances may be constrained by attenuation, depending on specific loss budget.
