Description
RM-Series Round Messenger Cables
Installation zone RECOMMENDATION
Outdoor aerial installations along utility poles for cable television, telecom or other outside plant campus backbone applications without the need for cable lashing
Features - Lightweight, all-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) construction is ideal for use near electrical power lines and in areas of frequent lightning
- No messenger or lashing is required
- Round cable construction for minimum wind drag and ice buildup
- Aramid strength members reduce weight for longer span lengths
- Wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C
- 900μm tight buffer eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming installation of fanout kits or pigtail splices, because connectors terminate directly to the fiber
- Standard with Ultra-Fox Plus fiber (500μm)
