Excel corrugated steel tape (CST) OS2 9/125µm armoured external multi loose tube optical fibre cables have been designed specifically for applications requiring a high degree of mechanical protection. The singlemode fibre is G.652.D compliant low water peak grade and offers OS2 performance and OS1 backwards compatibility.
The cable is constructed from multiple gel filled loose tubes around a central strength member, overlaid with water blocking yarn and a water blocking tape surrounded by a corrugated steel tape and covered with a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) outer jacket, allowing high core count fibres to be installed into the access network from 24 to 288 fibre core counts.
