This Outdoor Corning Altos® Armored Direct Burial (OSPDB) Fiber Optic Cable is rated for almost all outdoor applications. This cable the most durable and rugged fiber optic cabling we offer for permanent installation. It is designed for installation directly buried in trenches and underground installation where rodent chew damage is a concern, overhead lashed to a guy wire, or secured to a building or other permanent outdoor structure. This jacket design also offers superior crush resistance. Our outdoor armored fiber optic cable is perfect for campus backbones, headend termination to a fiber backbone, and intra-building backbones. It is also designed for a variety of voice, data, video, and image applications.
Choosing a direct burial rated jacket helps save time and money in outdoor applications where conduit is necessary, or in industrial environments which require extra protection. Although this option is priced higher than standard indoor/outdoor distribution cable that needs to be ran inside conduit, it outweighs its overall price when compared the cost of purchasing conduit and then the labor involved having to pull the cable through it. This outdoor (OSPDB) armored cable has a heavy duty polyethylene (PE) UV and water proof jacket, corrugated steel tubing, and water blocking swellable tape surrounding the fiber optic strands.
Features and Cable Manufacturer Characteristics:
- In stock and ready to cut to your exact length
- Gel-free Loose Tube Fibers
- Superior Protection from UV Radiation, Fungus, Abrasion, and other Environmental Factors
- Fully water-blocked core using water blocking tape
- Crush & Rodent Resistant
- Jacket print ensures product identification and fiber type
- Design and Test Criteria: ANSI/ICEA S-87-640, Telcordia GR-20, RDUP PE-90
NOTE: Polyethylene (PE) OSP cable is restricted to a 50 feet run indoors due to fire-code restrictions.

LANshack: Best custom CAT8 ethernet cable on the market!
I needed a custom 55 foot S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) CAT8 indoor ethernet cable for ethernet backhaul between two Eero mesh routers. I did tons of research (including Grok) and I came across LANshack.com. They have the thickest 23AWG wire in their custom CAT8 cable vs 26AWG on Amazon (lower number is thicker; 23AWG wire has roughly twice the cross-sectional area of 26AWG). Excellent price per foot, and this cable is thick! Very quick turnaround once you order from them. I am very pleased with LANshack and I will order from them again for future projects!
