Overview
Fitel Lucent Technologies’ Double Jacket loose tube fiber
optic cable offers a durable and reliable cable solution for
a wide variety of outside plant installations, including
duct and lashed aerial. This lightweight, small diameter
cable is designed for applications requiring the added
protection of two polyethylene jackets.
Design
The outstanding performance of Double Jacket cable
begins with Fitel Lucent Technologies’ proven loose tube
design. First, your choice of high-quality singlemode,
multimode, AllWave™ matched clad or TrueWave® RS
nonzero-dispersion fiber is placed within gel-filled buffer
tubes, creating a stress-free operating environment.
The color-coded buffer tubes are then stranded around
a dielectric or metallic central member using the reverse
oscillating lay (ROL) technique. ROL enables quick and
easy mid-span entry. An inner polyethylene jacket is
then applied around the cable core for added protection.
Finally, dielectric strength elements and an outer
polyethylene jacket complete the construction – producing
• Applications
• Lightweight, flexible, small diameter cable excellent
for duct and lashed aerial use
• Dielectric and metallic central member options
to suit your application
• Ideal for applications requiring the added protection
of two polyethylene jackets
a cable that’s lightweight and easy to install yet robust
enough to meet the rigors of the outdoors.
Features & Advantages
