DIRECT BURIAL INSTALLATION | DB SERIES

Slotted core design, eight fiber ribbon, 104-192 fibers, corrugated steel tape armouring

This is a light armoured cable for direct burial installation. The corrugated steel tape armouring provides good protection against rodents yet allows the cable to retain outstanding flexibility for easy installation.

It can be supplied with 104 to 192 fibers, single-mode, multimode or both.

High packing density of the fibers provided by the ribbon technology. This permits a small outer diameter for the cable despite the large fiber count.

The slotted core cable has high crush load resistance. The radial shape of the slotted core profile provides an effective cavity for the ribbons to rest in.

Water blocking filling compound prevents water penetration along the cable.
