Lightera Mini C2™ DT Cable – Totally Gel Free

The Lightera Mini C2™ DT Cable offers a compact, yet durable fiber optic cable solution in a completely gel-free design that is easy to handle and install. The core of this fiber optic cable contains no messy filling compounds, thereby eliminating the costly labor of removing gel from each optical fiber prior to splicing and helping keep your tools and workspace clean and safe.

The construction of the Mini C2 DT Cable begins by placing between one and 12 optical fibers within a flexible, 3.5 mm dry central tube (for counts greater than 12, fibers are separated by loose polyester binder threads). An overlapping layer of electrolytically chrome-coated corrugated steel (ECCS) armor then envelopes the central tube. The inner surface of the ECCS armor is coated with a gel-free, super-absorbent, water-blocking powder that provides outstanding water penetration resistance “on demand”. Two steel strength rods are then placed lengthwise along the armor (diametrically positioned to each other) to provide additional tensile strength. Finally, a durable polyethylene (PE) jacket is applied to help provide protection in the rigorous outside plant (OSP) environment.

Product Description

The Lightera Mini C2™ DT Cable offers a compact, yet durable fiber optic cable solution in a completely gel-free design that is easy to handle and install.

Why The Mini C2 DT Cable?

The small size and light weight of the Mini C2 DT Cable offer a more cost-effective, efficient solution for the smaller fiber counts that are needed in the last optical link of your network.

This cable’s innovative gel-free design features no messy filling compounds, virtually eliminating the need for cleaning chemicals and wipes and enabling faster and cleaner OSP installation with almost effortless splice preparation. The Mini C2 DT Cable’s totally gel-free construction also creates a more compact, lighter weight cable that is easier to handle and install and that helps save on cable storage space and shipping. By reducing transportation costs and the use of chemical cleaning supplies, this cable offers a more cost-effective, eco-friendly solution.

Suitable for underground conduit, direct buried and aerial/lashed applications*, the Mini C2 DT Cable’s flexible, 3.5 mm central tube is also easily routed into pedestals and closures.

Note

* Please review Lightera Installation Procedure # 038 for cable placement recommendations.
