STL RapidTube Multi Loose Tube Gel free optical fiber cables are engineered for versatile applications, making them ideal for aerial, direct burial and duct installations. Setting them apart is their innovative gel-free technology, which ensures reliable performance in challenging environmental conditions. These cables are surrounded with water-swellable yarns within the buffer tubes and a water-swellable tape around the cable core, effectively safeguarding against water ingress. The cable core is thoughtfully constructed with buffer tubes, which are expertly stranded around a central strength member using the reverse oscillation stranding method. To provide additional protection, STL RapidTube is also available with a robust corrugated steel tape armor that envelops the cable core, and a thermoplastic jacket is then applied over this armor layer. This thoughtful design not only enhances the cable's durability but also simplifies installation, making it a dependable choice for a wide range of applications.
