Corning ALTOS®

Corning ALTOS® cables provide stable performance over a wide temperature range and are compatible with any telecommunications-grade optical fiber.

Corning ALTOS® loose tube cable with FastAccess® technology:

• Features an easy, peel-away cable jacket
• Reduces access time on average by 50%
• Lowers overall risk of harm to the installer and the fibers

FastAccess® technology is an innovative cable jacket design used to bind cable construction through the manufacturing process that will forever change the way you end-span access an outside plant cable.

Corning ALTOS® loose tube cable with binderless FastAccess® technology:

• Eliminates the use of binder yarns and waterblocking tapes
• Features craft-friendly, water-swellable materials
• Requires no cleanup

Best of all, this technology allows the installer to effectively peel the cable jacket away without the use of sharp tools. thereby reducing access time on average by 70 percent and dramatically reducing overall risk of harm to the installer or the fibers within the cable. Their design uses a thin, protective plastic sheath that comes off with the cable jacket, which eliminates prepping time and problems.

Corning is continuing the “Evolution is Easy” by taking this cable technology one step further!

They have launched their first armored cable utilizing their FastAccess® Technology and thin film core protection. Including the similar dielectric version and benefits, the major change is that they have eliminated the use of a ripcord to access the jacket and armor. The customer can use the FastAccess feature to remove the cable jacket and then simply pull the cable through the armor to access the cable core. This is possible because of the new thin film protection around the cable core that prevents any damage as the core is pulled through the armor. The customer can then easily remove the thin film with an easy to access ripcord. By utilizing this new access process customer can reduce cable access times by up to 60% all with a less risky process that involves no sharp tools. As with the dielectric version, the water blocking tape has been removed and has been replaced with the equally effective water blocking powder.
