This universal (outdoor-indoor) gel-filled loose tube fiber optic cable consists of up to 24 fibers in 900µ tight or semi-tight buffer tubes that are joined in a gel-free LSZH loose tube. Corning Sensing all-dielectric cables are lightweight cables designed for duct and aerial (lashed) installation. The loose tube design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber. Installation is completely stress-free, eliminating the damage that can occur when traditional fiber is pulled through the network. The gel acts as a protective. The “dry” cable design compares favorably with a “wet” design that uses a flooding compound in the voids within the cable core and/or a thixotropic gel within the buffer tube to achieve comparable water blocking performance. They effectively. Thorlabs offers multimode fiber bundles in straight, bifurcated (Y-cable), or fan-out configurations and round or linear bundle end configurations.
