Fiber-optic cables

Altos loose-tube optical-fiber cables include water-swellable tapes and yarns to prevent water penetration. This waterproofing method eliminates messy flooding compounds and cuts cable-preparation time in half. Cables are available in all-dielectric, armored, riser, riser-rated indoor/outdoor, self-supporting, and tapered construction in fiber counts from 2 to 288.
