Rugged, durable and easy to strip (while providing supe-
rior protection against UV radiation, fungus, abrasion and
other environmental factors)
Available in 62.5 µm, 50 µm, single-mode (including
bend-insensitive and non-zero dispersion-shifted
(NZ-DSF) fiber options) and hybrid versions
Ready for any application including Gigabit Ethernet and
10 Gigabit Ethernet
Corning ALTOS

Lite™ Gel-Free, Single-Jacket, Single-
Armored Cables are designed for campus backbones
in direct-buried installations. The loose tube design pro-
vides stable and highly reliable transmission parameters
for a variety of voice, data, video and imaging applica-
tions. These cables also provide high-fiber density within
a given cable diameter while allowing flexibility to suit
many system configurations.
The single armored construction provides additional
crush and rodent protection with a high-strength ripcord
under the armor for easy stripping. Gel-free means the
cables are fully waterblocked using craft-friendly, wa-
ter-swellable materials which make cable access simple
and require no clean up. The flexible, craft-friendly buffer
tubes are easy to route in closures, and the SZ-stranded,
loose tube design isolates fibers from installation and en-
vironmental rigors while allowing easy mid-span access.
These cables have a medium density polyethylene jacket
that is rugged, durable and easy to strip.
A variety of fiber types are available including 62.5 μm,
50 μm, single-mode and hybrid versions as well as fibers
with Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
performance. These cables are also available with op-
tional extended operating temperature to -50°C (-58°F) in
a variety of fiber counts.
