FAQ
What is the gel inside the cable used for?
The gel filling in these cables helps block water ingress and prevent moisture from migrating through the cable if the outer jacket is compromised or if the conduit becomes flooded. This makes them especially useful in wet or buried environments.
Can this cable be used indoors?
By code, gel-filled outdoor cables can only be run indoors for up to 50 feet due to fire safety regulations. If you need to transition to an indoor space, we recommend splicing to a riser- or plenum-rated cable.
Is this cable shielded or armored?
No, this is an all-dielectric outdoor cable, meaning it contains no metallic elements. This avoids grounding issues but doesn’t provide mechanical armor. For armored versions, see our OSP armored cable options.
Can I get this cable pre-terminated?
This specific product line is not pre-terminated, but we offer custom pre-terminated outdoor cables with your desired strand count, connector type, and pulling eye configuration on other parts of our site.
