Belden Inc. Outdoor (ADSS) OFC MLT: ARAMID + PE with 6 Tubes of Ø2.5mm 8f SM OS2 G.652.D & G.657.A1. GAAD808

The GAAD808 is an outdoor dry core optical fiber Multi Loose Tube cable designed for all dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) applications. It features a construction with aramid yarns as strength members and a polyethylene outer jacket, ensuring durability and resistance to environmental factors. The cable consists of six tubes, each with a diameter of 2.5mm, containing a total of eight single-mode fibers compliant with ITU-T standards G.652.D and G.657.A1. This cable is suitable for outdoor installations, particularly between poles with a maximum span of 150 meters, and has an initial sag of 1% at 20¬8C. It is designed to withstand a range of mechanical stresses, with a maximum tensile strength of 2850 N during installation and 950 N during operation. The cable also offers water-blocking capabilities and is rated for a temperature range of -30 ¬8C to +70 ¬8C for both operation and storage. Optical performance includes a maximum attenuation of 0.39 dB/km at 1310 nm, 0.24 dB/km at 1550 nm, and 0.29 dB/km at 1625 nm. The cable is compliant with various standards, including IEC 60794 and RoHS 2, and provides UV protection. This product is suitable for engineers seeking a reliable outdoor fiber optic solution with robust performance characteristics.
