Aerial Cable ASLT-SS05

The PAMIX ASLT-SS05 Aerial Figure 8 Optical Fiber Outdoor Cable is a self-supporting outdoor cable engineered specifically for reliable aerial installations. Featuring a highly durable Figure-8 design with an integrated steel wire strength member, this cable ensures excellent mechanical performance and stability in overhead deployments.

General Construction & Application This cable features a central loose tube structure made of PBT, filled with a thixotropic jelly compound and water-blocking material to protect the fibers from moisture. It is armored with corrugated steel tape for enhanced crush resistance and physical protection. The integrated metal strength member (nominal 7 × 0.8 mm steel rope) provides the necessary tension support for aerial spans, while the entire assembly is protected by a tough, single black MDPE outer sheath.
