Superior Essex introduces gel-free, loose tube fiber cable line

　　Superior Essex Inc., a wire and cable manufacturer, introduced its Dri-Lite all-dry, gel-free loose tube optical fiber cable product line. The new outside plant fiber cable design expands on the company’s existing Dri-Lite ribbon fiber cable product line.

　　These completely dry cables use space-saving 2.5-millimeter buffer tubes containing specially engineered, absorbent yarn that swell on contact with water and block water ingress. All-dry fiber cable designs are preferred by some customers because they are lower in weight than gel-filled cables and eliminate the need for gel removal in the installation process.

　　The Dri-Lite product line has been tested to and complies with Telcordia GR-20 and Rural Development Utilities Program (RDUP) specification 1753F-601 (PE-90) for fiber-optic cables. Superior Essex Dri-Lite products have been formally accepted by RDUP.

　　The Dri-Lite loose tube product line is available in fiber counts ranging from 12 to 288 in armored and all-dielectric cable configurations.
