Armored Outside Plant Cables

ADC’s line of armored outdoor loose tube cables with polyethylene jackets are designed to meet
all the rigors of the outside plant environment. The cable core is protected from moisture with
a water swellable tape, eliminating the need for a filling compound. Terminations require less
effort making the installation easier.
