Tight Buffered Cable Applications

  • Indoor / Outdoor Applications Where Gel-Filled Cables are not Suitable
  • Robust Cables for Indoor Applications where the Cable may be Subject to a Damp / Moist Environment
  • Indoor / Outdoor Applications where Termination is Directly onto Conventional Connectors (w/o Pigtail Splicing)
  • Suitable for Lashed Aerial, Duct, Underground Conduit and Indoor Riser Applications
