Fiber Optic Cable
In/Outdoor Dry Loose Tube Cables: Riser and Plenum
ADC’s innovative line of indoor/outdoor loose tube cables are designed to meet all the rigors
of the outside plant environment and have the necessary fire ratings to be installed inside the
building. These cables eliminate the messy gel filler of traditional loose tube style cables with
super absorbent polymers. The installer can place the cable anywhere in the network, bypassing
the transition points required in most installations. Cables are available with fiber counts from
2 to 144.
Features:
• Dry cable core and dry buffer tubes provide
effective water blocking without the need
for traditional gel filler
• Can be placed anywhere in the network,
bypassing transition points from outdoor to
indoor
• Installation times reduced because there is
no need to clean gels
• Excellent flame retardancy
• Flexible design for easy installation
• Color-coded buffer tubes and fibers
• Wide operating temperature range:

-40° to 75 °C (-40° to 167 °F)
Applications:
• Between buildings in campus
backbone cabling
• Riser or plenum rated environments

• Outside plant
Compliances:
• Telcordia GR-20-CORE
• Telcordia GR-409-CORE
• EIA/TIA FOTPs
• ETL, (UL) 910, NEC OFNP, FT-6
• ETL, (UL) 1666, NEC OFNR, FT-4
• ISO/IEC 11801
• EIA/TIA 568-B
• ANSI/ICEA S-104-696
