The cable is a dry 4- or 8-fiber ribbon cable for duct and direct buried installation. The slotted core design provides superior protection for the fiber ribbons. Each of the slots in the core contains 4- or 8-fiber ribbons. The 8-fiber ribbon can easily be split into two 4-fiber ribbons. Being completely dielectric, the cable can be installed in environments with electrical interference, e.g. near power lines. For direct burial installation, it is recommended that the cable is embedded in a minimum of 10 cm sand. The versatility of the cable and the inherent benefits of ribbon fiber 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. Dry water-blocking tape prevents water penetration along the cable

Installation Notes If direct burial installation it is recommended that the cable is embedded in a minimum of 10 cm sand. If duct installation the cable should be installed at a temperature between -15 to +40°C. The cable shall not be stored in direct sunlight. The sun may heat up the cable over the permitted temperature limit.
