GAHSL is a 4-fiber or 8- fiber ribbon cable mainly for duct installation. There is also a slim variant available (TOL 401 1013). Being completely dielectric it can be installed in environments where there can be electrical interference, for example adjacent to power lines. The versatility of this cable design and the improved splicing properties of the ribbon technology, reduce the cost of installation.

The slotted core ribbon cables are designed with 4- or 8-fiber ribbons to gives high packing density of the fibers.

The glass fiber reinforced strength member and the slotted core design provide superior protection for the fiber ribbons.
