Corning ALTOS® gel-free double-jacket, dielectric cables are designed for duct and aerial (lashed) installation. The double-jacket construction adds a layer of protection for harsh environments. The loose tube cable design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber.
