TIGHT-BUFFERED CABLES

cable design is better when cable flexibility and ease of

termination are a priority. Most inside cables are of the

tight-buffered design because of the relatively short

distances between devices and distribution racks

-A tight-buffered fiber can be cabled with other fibers,

and then reinforced with Kevlar™, and jacketed to form

a tightpack cable.
