Central Tube Cable Applications

• Indoor / Outdoor Applications where Gel-Filled Cables are Suitable for Best Water-Blocking
• Robust Cables for Indoor Applications where the Cable may be Subject to a Damp / Moist Environment
• Indoor / Outdoor Applications where Termination via Pigtail Splicing is Preferred
• Suitable for Lashed Aerial, Duct, Underground Conduit and Indoor Riser Applications
