Product Description

OFS’ Fortex™ DT Single Jacket Loose Tube Cable delivers the durability and reliability essential for outside plant (OSP) use in an innovative, completely dry cable design. To construct this all-dielectric cable, the optical fibers are placed in space-efficient, 2.5 mm buffer tubes that contain a specially-engineered, super-absorbent yarn that delivers water blocking “on demand.” The color-coded buffer tubes are then stranded around a dielectric central member using the reverse oscillating lay (ROL) stranding technique for easy, mid-span fiber access.

Single Jacket Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable

As the industry’s first 100%1 dry loose tube cable to meet the water-blocking requirements of ANSI/ICEA and Telcordia OSP cable standards, Fortex DT Single Jacket Cable offers all the benefits of a standard loose tube cable plus it’s completely gel-free – even inside of the buffer tubes!

Unlike traditional OSP fiber optic cables that use gels in direct contact with optical fibers, Fortex DT Single Jacket Cable replaces gels with a specially-designed, super-absorbent yarn in each buffer tube that provides water blocking “on demand”. By eliminating gels and filling compounds, this cable offers virtually effortless splice preparation, while keeping your tools, workspace, closures, and cabinets cleaner. Dry cables are also lighter in weight, making them easier to handle and less of a load on your work crew and plant infrastructure.

In addition to being completely gel-free, Fortex DT Single Jacket Cable offers the same high-performance features as OFS’ traditional loose tube cables. Our 2.5 mm buffer tubes – among the smallest standard tubes in the industry – create far less bulk to be stored in closures and pedestals. Smaller, more flexible buffer tubes also coil more easily and into tighter diameters.

Light Armor Fiber Optic Cable

As the industry’s first 100% dry, loose tube cable to meet the water-blocking requirements of ANSI/ICEA and Telcordia OSP cable standards, the Fortex DT Light Armor Cable offers all the benefits of a standard light armor loose tube cable plus it’s completely gel-free – even inside the buffer tubes!

Unlike traditional OSP cables that use gels in direct contact with optical fibers, the Fortex DT Light Armor Cable replaces gels with a specially-designed, super-absorbent yarn in each buffer tube that provides water blocking “on demand”.
