extra-high-strength (EHS) stranded steel messeng

offers strength and corrosion resistance that is superior

to that of common utility-grade messengers. The Figure

8 Cable also helps save on time and money with rapid,

one-step installation.

o construct the DryBlock Figure 8 Cable, optical fibe

are placed within color-coded, gel-filled buffer tube

to protect t e ers rom env ronmenta an mec an -

cal forces. Next, the buffer tubes are stranded around a

dielectric central member using the reverse oscillating

lay (ROL) stranding method. Unlike other stranding tech-

niques, ROL makes it easy to untwist the buffer tubes

and gain fast, mid-span entry. DryBlock water-blocking

material and dielectric strength elements are then applied

to t e ca e core. na y, a quarter- nc stran e

steel messenger and a durable polyethylene (PE) jacket

are applied to complete the cable construction.

Product Description

he DryBlock Figure 8 Cables integrated, EHS

stranded steel messenger provides strength and cor-

rosion resistance that surpass that offered by common

ut ty-gra e messengers. s ca e s oose tu e con-

struction also delivers excellent fiber protection, and a UV

and water-resistant PE outer jacket offers maximum cable

protect on rom mo sture an weat er ng.

By eliminating the need to lash cable to a separatelyinstalled messenger, this cable design helps save time

and money on deployment with fast, one-step installation

using standard attachment hardware.
