Outdoor Optical Fiber CablePSAC Dry
Peelable Steel Armored Cable(PSAC) is composed of single-jacket, single-armored cables. It is 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. Dry means the cables are fully water blocked using installation-friendly, water-swellable materials. This makes cable access simple, and requires no clean up. The flexible, installation- 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 mid-span access. These cables have a medium density polyethylene jacket that is rugged, durable, and easy to strip.
