Loose-tube cable

DriCore loose-tube optical cable features dry water-blocking elements instead of petroleum-based water-blocking gels in the cable core. The design reduces cable-preparation times, on average, by 20 minutes per cable end, according to company claims. All-dielectric and armored versions with up to 216 fibers are available.
