Product catalog summary
Features and Benefits
The ALTOS® Lite™ Gel-Free, Single-Jacket, Single-Armored Cables are designed with a fully waterblocked loose tube gel-free design, ensuring simple access and no clean-up. The single-armored construction provides additional protection against crush and rodents. The medium-density polyethylene jacket is rugged, durable, and easy to strip, offering superior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion, and other environmental factors. These cables are available in various fiber types, including 62.5 µm, 50 µm, single-mode, and hybrid versions, suitable for applications like Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
Standards
The cables are suitable for outdoor lashed aerial, duct, and direct-buried installations, and indoor use when installed according to the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) Article 770. They meet design and test criteria such as ANSI/ICEA S-87-640, Telcordia GR-20, and RDUP PE-90.

ALTOS® Lite™ Gel-Free, Single-Jacket, Single-Armor Cables, 6-288 Fibers Features and Benefits Fully waterblocked loose tube gel-free design Simple access and no clean up Single-armored construction Provides additional crush and rodent protection Medium-density polyethylene jacket Rugged, durable and easy to strip while providing superior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and other environmental factors Available in 62.5 µm, 50 µm, single-mode (including bend-insensitive and non-zero dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) options) and hybrid versions Ready for any application including Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Standards Common Installations Outdoor lashed aerial, duct and direct-buried; indoor when installed according to National Electrical Code® (NEC®) Article 770 Design and Test Criteria Corning Cable Systems ALTOS® Lite™ Gel-Free, SingleJacket, Single-Armored Cables are designed for campus backbones in direct-buried installations. The loose tube design provides stable and highly reliable transmission parameters for a variety of voice, data, video and imaging applications. These cables also provide high-fiber density within a given cable diameter while allowing flexibility to suit many system configurations. The single armored construction provides additional crush and rodent protection with a high-strength ripcord under the armor for easy stripping. Gel-free means the cables are fully waterblocked using craft-friendly, waterswellable materials which make cable access simple and require no clean up. The flexible, craft-friendly buffer tubes are easy to route in closures, and the SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates fibers from installation and environmental rigors while allowing easy midspan access. These cables have a medium density polyethylene jacket that is rugged, durable and easy to strip. A variety of fiber types are available including 62.5 μm, 50 μm, single-mode and hybrid versions as well as fibers with Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. These cables are also available with optional extended operating temperature to -50°C (-58°F) in a variety of fiber counts.
