Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
The polyethylene jacket provides high durability for outside plant environments; however, always consult local building codes and installation standards for specific direct-burial requirements.

What type of fiber is used inside?
This cable uses Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, which is G.657.A1 compliant for superior bend performance.

Does the gel filling affect termination?
The gel is a water-blocking compound; it requires standard cleaning procedures during the preparation and termination process.

Is the spool included?
Yes, the cable is supplied on a 30-inch wooden spool.

Can I use this for indoor applications?
This is an outdoor-rated cable with a PE jacket. It is typically intended for transition to indoor-rated cable at the building entry point per fire safety regulations.
