CommScope 760053355 D-144-LA-8W-F12NS, Outdoor Stranded Loose Tube Single Jacket Armor

CommScope® 760053355 D-144-LA-8W-F12NS is a fiber OSP cable in the D-LA series featuring a stranded loose tube design with corrugated steel armor. It is a 144-fiber, gel-free construction with dry water-blocking elements and TeraSPEED® | OS2 fiber (G.652.D and G.657.A1) arranged in 12 subunits with 12 fibers per subunit. The cable is finished with a black PE jacket with feet marking and a UV stabilized jacket for UV resistance. It is specified for environmental space: aerial, lashed | buried, and includes defined installation, operating, and storage temperature ranges.
