What is the CampusLink Dry Loose Tube?
The CampusLink Single Jacket Dry Riser Fiber Optic Cable is a loose tube fiber optic cable used in indoor-outdoor applications. It is specifically used in aerial lashed, duct, and direct burial applications.
The CampusLink Loose Tube Indoor/Outdoor Dry Riser has many features and benefits. These include fiber identification with TIA standard color coding and a flame retardant, black UV-resistant outer jacket. This particular CampusLink fiber optic cable has dry buffer tubes to simplify access and reduce prep time. This cable also has the benefits of flexible kick-resistant buffer tubes, bend-insensitive single-mode optical fibers, and support of high-performance networks.
