The cable type is intended for river and lake or direct burial installation. The design can incorporate up to 192 fibres. The fibres are grouped into ribbons consisting each of four fibres (maximum 96 fibres) or 8 fibres (maximum 192 fibres). The 4- or 8-fibre ribbons are stacked in a slotted core profile of polyethylene, which is extruded onto a dielectric fibre reinforced strength member (FRP). The cable type is longitudinal water-blocked through the use of polymeric filling compound and double sheathed with halogen-free black polyethylene including two layers of galvanized steel wires.
