OPTION1™ DT Outdoor/Indoor Cable

OPTION1 DT Riser-Rated, Outdoor/Indoor Fiber Optic Cable innovatively combines the safety features of an indoor, riser-rated cable with the durability critical to outside plant (OSP) use, all in a single, gel-free cable that helps enable faster deployment and reduced installation costs.

Lightera’ field-proven, totally gel-free loose tube design lies at the heart of each OPTION1 DT Cable. To construct this cable, optical fibers are placed within flexible 2.5 mm buffer tubes that contain a specially-engineered, super-absorbent yarn that delivers excellent water penetration resistance without the use of messy gels and filling compounds. Next, the color-coded buffer tubes are then stranded around a dielectric central member using the reverse oscillating lay (ROL) stranding technique for easy, mid-span fiber access. Additional gel-free, super-absorbent material is then applied to the cable core to offer added water-blocking protection and faster cable preparation. Finally, dielectric strength elements, a ripcord and a durable outer jacket complete the cable construction.

OPTION1 DT Riser-Rated, Outdoor/Indoor Fiber Optic Cable

Product Description

OPTION1 DT Riser-Rated, Outdoor/Indoor Fiber Optic Cable innovatively combines the safety features of an indoor, riser-rated cable with the durability critical to outside plant (OSP) use, all in a single, gel-free cable that helps enable faster deployment and reduced installation costs.

Lightera’ field-proven, totally gel-free loose tube design lies at the heart of each OPTION1 DT Cable. To construct this cable, optical fibers are placed within flexible 2.5 mm buffer tubes that contain a specially-engineered, super-absorbent yarn that delivers excellent water penetration resistance without the use of messy gels and filling compounds. Next, the color-coded buffer tubes are then stranded around a dielectric central member using the reverse oscillating lay (ROL) stranding technique for easy, mid-span fiber access. Additional gel-free, super-absorbent material is then applied to the cable core to offer added water-blocking protection and faster cable preparation. Finally, dielectric strength elements, a ripcord and a durable outer jacket complete the cable construction.

Why the Option1 DT Cable?

The completely gel-free OPTION1 DT Cable offers the safety features needed for indoor riser use along with the durability required for OSP applications.

Unlike traditional loose tube cables that use gels in direct contact with optical fibers, the OPTION1 DT Cable replaces gels with a specially-engineered, super-absorbent yarn that provides outstanding water penetration resistance. By eliminating gels and filling compounds, this cable helps enable substantial savings on installation time and labor costs. In fact, when compared with similar gel-filled outdoor/indoor cables, the OPTION1 DT Cable can help cut cable end preparation time by up to 80%, helping to significantly reduce labor costs for splicing and terminations ¹

Note

¹ In field trials, the gel-free OPTION1 DT Cable reduced the time required for cable end preparation for splicing and terminations by up to 80% as compared with Lightera and competitor gel-filled loose tube cables.
