Fiber Optic NextGen® Brand Indoor/Outdoor Cables 5 IndexPage Loose Tube Single Jacket Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH) Cable Tight Buffer Distribution Riser Cable Applications: Whether primarily for indoor or outdoor use, we have an impressive choice of products that have the ability to route from either a plenum or riser building space to an outdoor run. This eliminates the costly and space-consuming transition point at the building entrance and improves the system loss budget. These cables are most efficient when used to directly connect equipment rooms (on any floor) in different buildings or to connect a manhole location to an equipment room. 30 Features: These products reduce the system cost by eliminating splice points, simplifying cable handling and gaining flexibility with the choice of building entrances. All cables meet appropriate NEC requirements and are listed with ETL. Tight buffer designs allow direct termination of fibers with industry-standard connectors and techniques.
