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.

I received two custom Ethernet cables which worked. They were not labeled as to which was which so I had to count the number of coils.

This is the second time ordering from LANshack. Both times were great experiences. If you are a DIY person who has tried to but RJ-45 connectors on cat cable you can imagine how great it is to just do the measurements and avoid that brain damage. Great service and good quality product.
