InSky OPGW
Used by electric utilities on transmission lines with the voltage of 35 kV and higher for creating optical communication lines and protecting the power lines from lightning strikes.
InAir ADSS
Applied for aerial installation on distribution and power transmission lines for building long distance optical communication systems.
Specialty Cable
Used for distributed fiber optic sensing in different applications.
InFire Rated
Used for indoor and outdoor applications where fire resistance is a must. Remain functional under direct flame for at least 180 minutes.
InDuct
Applied in ducts, conduits and trays with no risk of rodent attacks. Can also be lashed.
InArmor
Designed for high reliability in harsh environments with potential mechanical impact. Applied in all ground types, swamps, and harsh rivers.
BlownIn
Designed for air blowing in ducts and microducts for building reliable underground communication networks.
InWater
Designed for underwater application with increased crush and tensile loads.
InAir Figure 8
Used for cost-effective one-step aerial installation mostly in rural areas where the spans between poles are not long .
InControl
Applied in substations for control purposes.
InHome FTTH
Used to create communication lines between the common distribution box and a location inside the building (including vertical runs), between entrances or corridors in office buildings.
InDrop FTTH
Applied for aerial installation on transmission towers, lightning poles, between buildings and structures for communication networks in rural areas.
All-dielectric outside plant (OSP) cable is typically deployed in ducts. It can also be lashed to a messenger wire for aerial installation and can be attached to bridges or the lining inside a tunnel. The NESC permits OSP cable to be run up to 50 feet inside a building.

InDuct Aramid is an all-dielectric outside plant cable with up to 144 fibers. Its maximum rated design tension can be up to 607 lb and crush is 126 lb/in. It is UV-resistant.
This cable consists of a stranded core with a central strength member (FRP), dry loose tubes with optical fibers and PE fillers (where applicable). The stranded core is fixed by water-swellable yarns. Aramid yarns are laid over the stranded core.
Very important note: this InDuct Aramid cable has a very low level of rodent resistance. But it may be produced as a flame-retardant cable.
Typical application:
— It can be pulled into underground ducts and sewer pipes
— It can be installed along bridges, tunnels and other structures
— It can be installed into indoor/outdoor cable conduits and trays
— It can also be lashed
This aramid yarn fiber optic cable has a reduced weight and size, and it is easy to install.
