To all-- New Gel-Free, Dry Core Fiber-Optic Loose Tube Cable From Alcatel
- Speeds Up and Simplifies Installation
Alcatel , a recognized leader in high-performance copper and
fiber-optic structured cabling solutions, has enhanced its fiber-optic
outside plant loose tube cable offerings with the addition of Outside Plant
Duct Dry Core (OPDD) and Outside Plant Armor Dry Core (OPAD) cables.
William Charuk, Alcatel Fiber Optic Group Business Manager, said the
new cables feature a dry water-blocking scheme between the buffer tubes and
serve applications with multi-tube construction. Installation is simplified
and speeded up because gel no longer has to be cleaned off the buffer
tubes.
"These are cables in which the area between the buffer tubes are
typically water-blocked with gel, but with the new design, we have replaced
the messy gel with a dry, water-blocking yarn," Charuk noted. The company,
which is changing all standard loose tube cable to dry core designs, will
continue to make gel-filled OPD and OPA cables for those customers wishing
to purchase them.
The Alcatel outside plant fiber-optic cable series, which meets or
exceeds all applicable standards, is designed for interbuilding and lashed
aerial, open outside tray, direct burial and underground conduit
applications. The series is excellent for confined conduit runs and quick
and easy terminations; fully water-blocked to protect against water
migration; sufficiently robust for direct burial and other demanding
installations; and fully capable of supporting present and future
networking applications.
For more than 37 years, Alcatel has been a leading manufacturer of more
than 100 different network copper and fiber-optic cable products. The
company has led in the development of high-performance and enhanced UTP
cables designed to transport high-speed data and voice transmissions.
Alcatel is also a pioneer in open architecture structured cabling systems.
The company has major facilities at New Holland, PA; Fuquay-Varina, NC; and
Sao Paulo, Brazil.
A world leader in telecommunications systems and equipment, as well as
related cables and components activities, Alcatel operates in more than 130
countries. Alcatel provides complete solutions and services to operators,
service providers, enterprises and consumers, ranging from broadband

In the field of Telecom and Energy Cables, Alcatel offers products and
