Product Description

The Lightera PowerGuide® TTH All-Dielectric Self-Supporting (ADSS) Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable offers an excellent choice for short aerial cable spans ranging up to 346 feet (105 meters)*. This cable’s compact size, low-cost installation and specialized design make it an ideal, cost-effective cabling solution for duct, Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and short-span, self-supporting aerial drop applications.

To construct this cable, one to six optical fibers are placed within color-coded, gel-filled buffer tubes to protect the fibers from mechanical and environmental forces. The buffer tubes are then stranded around a dielectric central member using the reverse oscillating lay (ROL) stranding method to enable fast, mid-span cable entry. Next, DryBlock® water-blocking material and dielectric strength elements are applied to the cable core. Finally, a durable polyethylene (PE) outer jacket completes the cable construction.

Why the PowerGuide TTH Cable?

When you need a small diameter and cost-effective, yet robust cabling solution for FTTH and short aerial span applications, look to the PowerGuide TTH Cable.

Featuring one of the world’s smallest ADSS cable diameters, this cable is compact, lightweight and easy to handle and install, saving time and money on deployment. By eliminating the need for expensive cable shielding or grounding, the PowerGuide TTH Cable’s all-dielectric construction saves even more money on installation.

While the PowerGuide TTH Cable is small and flexible, it is also highly durable and reliable. The specialized TTH cable design features integrated aramid yarn strength elements and a rugged PE outer jacket for superior cable strength and stability.

Note

* Exact span lengths depend on loading conditions, fiber counts and clearance requirements.
