Belden Central Loose Tube Cable with Aluminum Interlocking Armor 6 Fiber Singlemode 9/125um OS2 Black (per meter)

Overview

The Belden Central Loose Tube Armored Cable is a high-performance, outside plant (OSP) fiber optic solution designed for demanding environments. Featuring a rugged corrugated steel armor and a polyethylene jacket, this cable provides exceptional crush resistance and rodent protection, making it ideal for direct burial and harsh outdoor installations.

The central loose tube construction utilizes a gel-filled buffer to ensure superior moisture resistance, protecting the 6 singlemode 9/125um OS2 fibers from environmental degradation. Its compact diameter allows for more efficient use of conduit and duct space compared to traditional loose tube designs, providing a robust and space-saving solution for network operators and contractors.
