The cable is a single armored, ribbon cable for shallow submarine installations where moderate protection is required.

The cable is suitable for lakes and river crossings in all types of networks such as trunk, metropolitan and fiber access networks.

This submarine cable is based on a slotted core fiber ribbon design for maximum protection. The fibers are protected by an aluminum foil and a polyethylene sheath. Outside the sheath there is a layer of galvanized steel wires covered with a heavy-duty layer of HDPE polymer.

The steel wire reinforcement provides reliable mechanical protection, enabling installation and operation during rough conditions.
