ADJUSTED F.O CABLE (FREE GEL)

An adjusted F.O (gel-free) cable, also known as gel-free loose-tube fiber optic cable, is a type of fiber cable designed for outdoor and indoor applications, with specific structural advantages.

What does it mean?
- Loose-tube fiber: each fiber is housed inside a plastic tube within the cable, allowing movement within the outer sheath. This protects the fiber from mechanical stress and provides thermal mobility.
- Gel-free: unlike traditional cables that use gel to block moisture, this type uses dry fillers or water-blocking tapes, eliminating the need for gel. It makes the cable easier to clean, handle, and repair, and is also more environmentally friendly.
