It is commonly used for campus links, duct installations and building-to-building connections where singlemode performance and durability are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable uses a central PBT loose tube with up to 24 fibres, supported by glass yarn and water-swellable yarn strength members. An ECCS steel tape layer provides additional protection against impact and rodent damage, with an LSZH outer sheath for installations where low smoke and halogen-free materials are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured to ITU-T G.652.D (low water peak), the cable is suitable for modern OS2 networks and remains backwards compatible with OS1 systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is compatible with standard singlemode splicing, termination and jointing hardware, including external enclosures and splice closures. The loose tube design supports long-distance transmission with low attenuation, while the LSZH sheath allows use in areas where fire performance requirements apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for installers needing a G.652.D compliant OS2 fibre cable for duct or protected external
