Ducts (or conduits) offer a highly protective environment for fiber-optic cables. They are typically buried, and then the cables are air-blown, jetted, pulled or pushed into the duct.

ALTOS® Loose Tube
The most commonly-deployed dielectric outdoor cable design, with fiber counts from 2 to 288 fibers and up to 432 fibers for gel-filled. Loose tube cables can be blown, jetted or pulled into a duct or conduit that will protect the cable during its installed lifetime. Dielectric loose tube cables are suitable for lashed aerial and duct installations.

ALTOS® Ribbon Cables
72, 144 or 288 fibers per tube are stranded around a central member enabling isolated access to individual tubes and ribbon stacks for mass-fusion splicing. Fiber counts from 288 to 1728 fibers.
SST-Ribbon™ Gel-Free Cables
Fiber counts from 12 to 864 fibers. 12 fibers are arranged in a ribbon, enabling fast mass-fusion splicing. These cables feature steel-tape armor so that they can be installed directly into the ground without the use of a protective conduit or duct.
