Adventum Plenum Rated Indoor/Outdoor Optical Cable

Berk-Tek's loose tube cable design can be used in all typical campus and outdoor/indoor installations, and is available with standard multimode, single-mode and GIGAlite™ fibers. This design affords the installer the ability to place cable anywhere in a network, bypassing the traditional transition points required in most installations. Adventum plenum cable (U.S. Patent No. 6,178,278) is available in 2 to 432 count fiber constructions. These cables have been thoroughly tested in accordance with Telcordia GR-409, ICEA-640, and ICEA-696 standards where applicable.

BUFFER TUBE CONSTRUCTION

DryGel blocked color coded loose tubes containing up to 12, 250 µm, individually colored fibers.
