The nylon loose-tube cable cable series combines robust design, ultra-low attenuation and excellent installation performance. Nylon loose tube is designed for use in termite prone areas as the hard outer nylon jacket provides protection against termites and insects. The SZ stranded loose tubes provide excellent performance even under significant tensile loads.

The cables are based on a dry waterblocked concentric core, loose tube design with up to 24 tubes per cable.

The cables have one or two layers of protective SZ laid tubes made of a robust PBT compound where each tube has 12 fibers. (excluding 6f)

The tubes are jacketed by a black HDPE and blue Nylon sheath in compliance with AS 1049.

The design facilitates easy fiber preparation and mid-span access.
