TrueNet Fiber Optic Cable

In/Outdoor Dry Loose Tube Cables: Riser and Plenum

Spec Sheet

ADCs innovative line of indoor/outdoor loose tube cables are designed to meet all the rigors
of the outside plant environment and have the necessary fire ratings to be installed inside the
building. These cables eliminate the messy gel filler of traditional loose tube style cables with
super absorbent polymers. The installer can place the cable anywhere in the network, bypassing
the transition points required in most installations. Cables are available with fiber counts from
2 to 144.

Features:

Applications:

Dry cable core and dry buffer tubes provide

effective water blocking without the need
for traditional gel filler

Between buildings in campus

backbone cabling

Can be placed anywhere in the network,

bypassing transition points from outdoor to
indoor

Outside plant

Installation times reduced because there is

no need to clean gels

Riser or plenum rated environments

Compliances:
Telcordia GR-20-CORE

Excellent flame retardancy

Telcordia GR-409-CORE

Flexible design for easy installation
