EnduraGain® OSP Unshielded is a robust category cable designed to provide an extension of the LAN beyond the premises or in situations where the NEC code requires an OSP-rated cable when it is in contact with earth, whether in a conduit or not. The cable consists of a core of four (4) balanced twisted pairs surrounded by Superior Essex PFM™ gel that does not drip or flow, even in cell tower applications at elevated temperatures. The core is jacketed with a sunlight and abrasion resistant black, polyethylene outer jacket. This unshielded design is suitable for the following deployments: duct, underground conduit and tower. EnduraGain OSP Unshielded is available in a variety of performances including CAT 5e, CAT 6 and CAT 6A. An optional Aluminum Interlock Armor with overjacket is also available (not suitable for tower deployment).
