 The construction is suitable for use outdoor for direct burial. It consists of a multitube structure protected by corrugated steel tape armouring.  This provides excellent rodent protection and high crush resistance. The cable has a HDPE outer jacket.
The multi tube design has a capacity of up to 144 fibres. Different cable designs are available: 6 tubes of 12fibers up to 72FO, 8 tubes up to 96FO and 12 tubes up to 144FO. Diameter of the fibres is 250 um.  Termination of these fibres is done with splicing of pigtails.
The cable is watertight due to the gel in the loose tube and the water swellable yarns.
