Outside plant fiber optic cables are suitable for applications such as direct burial in trenches, preinstalled in conduit, lashed to aerial utility poles, messenger options for self supporting features or installation in pavement.  For direct buried, underground conduit and aerial installations, Comstar Supply offers several fiber optic cable designs, which include a variety of loose tube, ribbon,  central tube, and drop cables.

Comstar Supply also takes the extra step of spooling cable onto high quality reels. A good, nonwarped reel helps payout and lessens the chance of the cable rubbing against the reel to cause abrasion of the cable jacket. A solid reel also prevents painful splinters – something the experienced installer will appreciate.
