Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
Yes, the polyethylene jacket and gel-filled construction are designed for the rigors of outside plant use, including typical burial applications.
What type of fiber is used in this cable?
This cable uses Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, a singlemode fiber known for its low attenuation and macrobend resistance.
How many fibers are inside the jacket?
This specific cable contains 2 optical fibers.
What is the primary benefit of the gel filling?
The gel filling acts as a water-blocking agent, preventing moisture ingress that could degrade the fiber over time.
Does this cable include connectors?
No, this is a bulk drop cable product supplied on a spool; field termination is required.
