Central Uni-tube corrugated Steel Tape Armored fiber optic cable

The armored fiber optic cable consists of a central loose tube filled with water-blocking gel to protect optical fibers. The cable is reinforced with a corrugated steel tape armor layer, providing excellent crush and rodent resistance. Its outer polyethylene (PE) sheath enhances environmental protection, making it suitable for outdoor, underground, and duct installations.
