Key Features

Engineered For Performance

Steel Tape Crush Protection

Corrugated steel tape armor provides superior crush and impact resistance compared to APL variants, protecting fibers during installation and from environmental hazards.

Integrated Messenger Wire

Steel wire strand in figure-8 profile provides self-supporting capability, eliminating separate strand requirements and simplifying aerial installation.

High-Capacity Stranded Design

Stranded loose tube construction supports up to 144 cores for high-capacity backbone and metro aerial fiber networks.

Enhanced Environmental Protection

Corrugated steel tape plus PE sheath provides comprehensive protection against moisture, UV radiation, and physical damage in exposed aerial environments.

Typical Applications

01

Aerial Fiber Backbone

Self-supporting high-capacity fiber routes for metro and inter-city connections where enhanced crush protection is needed for exposed cable runs.

02

Harsh Aerial Environments

Aerial deployment in areas with heavy wind loading, ice accumulation, or physical exposure where steel tape armor provides additional cable protection.

03

Access & Distribution Networks

Urban and suburban aerial fiber distribution using figure-8 self-supporting design for faster deployment and reduced installation costs.
