As 5G, FTTH, IoT and other trends drive network densification, bringing a requirement for more individual fiber connections, operators need solutions that reduce the time and cost of their cable installations.
To support operators, Corning is launching its ALTOS™ gel-free loose tube cable with binderless FastAccess™ technology, an all dielectric gel-free cable designed for outdoor duct installations – available with fiber counts from 12 to 288.
A key innovation is the FastAccess™ technology feature, which when combined with the gel-free binderless loose tube design, simplifies removal of the cable jacket and access to the buffer tubes.
Easier cable access with a hand-peelable jacket
Faster (up to 70%) with no ripcords or binders to cut
Lower-risk with no sharp blades required
Faster splice preparation, save 2 mins cleaning time per buffer tube
Cleaner environment for splicers
Greener manufacturing & elimination of cleaning consumables
Go further, faster distance
Smaller (up to 36%) than legacy loose tube cables for better utilization of duct space
