ALTOS® Figure-8 Gel-Filled Cables, Enhanced Features and Benefits Figure-8 cable design Easy, one-step installation Innovative waterblocking design Eliminates traditional flooding compound in cable core Medium-density polyethylene jacket Rugged, durable and easy to strip Available in 62.5 ^m, 50 ^m, single-mode and hybrid versions Ready for any application including Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Corning ALTOS® figure-8 gel-filled cables are self-supporting aerial cables designed for easy and economical one-step installation. The loose tube design provides stable performance over a wide temperature range and is compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber. While the flexible, craft-friendly buffer tubes are easy to route in closures, the SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates optical fibers from installation and environmental rigors and facilitates mid-span access. The figure-8 cable design allows easy, one-step installation using standard hardware and installation methods. These cables have a medium-density polyethylene jacket that is rugged, durable and easy to strip.
