InDuct Aramid

All-dielectric outside plant (OSP) cable is typically deployed in ducts

Overview

InDuct Aramid is an all-dielectric outside plant cable with up to 144 fibers. Its maximum rated design tension can be up to 607 lb and crush is 126 lb/in. It is UV-resistant.

This cable consists of a stranded core with a central strength member (FRP), dry loose tubes with optical fibers and PE fillers (where applicable). The stranded core is fixed by water-swellable yarns. Aramid yarns are laid over the stranded core.

Very important note: this InDuct Aramid cable has a very low level of rodent resistance. But it may be produced as a flame-retardant cable.
