Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
Yes, the polyethylene jacket is designed to withstand outdoor environmental conditions, including underground deployment.

Does this cable require cleaning before splicing?
Because it uses a dry loose tube construction, it is significantly cleaner to work with than gel-filled cables, though standard fiber cleaning protocols should still be followed during termination.

What is the benefit of SMF-28® Ultra fiber?
SMF-28® Ultra is a bend-insensitive singlemode fiber that offers improved signal integrity and is backward compatible with standard SMF-28® fiber.

Can this cable be used for aerial installations?
Yes, this flat drop cable is commonly used for aerial drop applications in FTTX networks.

Is the length sold in one continuous spool?
Yes, this item is provided as a single 2,500-foot spool.
