Key Features

Engineered For Performance

Integrated Steel Messenger

Steel wire strand messenger integrated into the figure-8 profile eliminates the need for separate messenger wire, reducing installation time and hardware costs.

APL Moisture Barrier

Aluminum polyethylene laminate provides continuous moisture protection for the cable core, ensuring long-term reliability in exposed aerial environments.

High Fiber Capacity

Stranded loose tube design supports up to 144 cores, making it suitable for backbone and high-capacity aerial network applications.

Self-Supporting Installation

No additional messenger wire or strand needed — the cable supports itself between poles, significantly reducing material and labor costs for aerial deployment.

Typical Applications

01

Aerial Backbone Networks

Self-supporting high-capacity fiber routes connecting exchanges and network nodes without the need for separate messenger wire infrastructure.

02

Long-Span Aerial Deployment

Aerial installations spanning between poles and towers where self-supporting capability and high fiber count are both required.

03

Metro & Access Networks

Urban and suburban aerial fiber networks where figure-8 design simplifies installation and reduces visual impact compared to lashed cable and strand.
