fiber strand has a color coded 900-micron jacket. The cable outer jacket is also color
coded for singlemode (yellow) or multimode (orange) type fiber. Riser (OFNR) and
Plenum (OFNP) rated cables are available.
For installation into a patch or distribution panel connectors can be installed directly
onto the 900-micron fiber. When the cable is connecting directly into the end device
a 2 or 3mm breakout kit is recommended.

be used in outside plant environments. The cable consist of one or several gel filled
t
ubes each containing 6-12 individual 250μm fiber strands inside. Fiber strands can be
directly spliced, or connectorized with the use of a breakout kit.
Standard loose tube OSP fiber cable can be placed above or under ground inside a
conduit, aerially lashed, or in some cases direct buried. Nylon jacketed loose tube
cable offers additional chemical and rodent protection. ADSS (All Dielectric Self
Supporting) cable has an inner dielectric strength member and is used in aerial
applications without the need to be lashed to a steel messenger wire.
Typical ADSS Spans with 1.0% Installation Sag: NESC Heavy 275 ft (84 meters), NESC Medium 450 ft (137 meters),
NESC Light 600 ft (183 meters). RLH ADSS hardware is used to attach the cable.
