Fiber optic splice closure knowledge brief Published 06 Dec 2022

Prepared for preliminary research by the RIVO OPTICAL knowledge desk. Confirm cable count, splice capacity, sealing class, tray layout, protection sleeves and installation requirements against current standards and product documentation.

Outdoor self-supporting die-type optical cables typically range from $1 to $5 per foot depending on fiber count, type, and specifications.Pricing Overview
  1. Corning SST Drop Self-Supporting Cable
    • 12-strand, gel-free, single-mode fiber
    • Suitable for aerial installation without a messenger and direct burial with protection
    • Sold per foot, with optional pulling eyes for easier installation
    • Price generally starts around $1–$2 per foot, depending on length and additional features like pre-termination .
  2. 48-Core GYTC8S Figure-8 Fiber Optic Cable
    • Armor stranded loose tube, steel wire strength, waterproof, self-supporting
    • Designed for aerial, duct, or buried installation
    • Features corrugated steel tape armor for crush and gunshot resistance
    • Pricing varies by supplier and quantity, typically $3–$5 per foot for high-core-count armored cables .
  3. FTTH Outdoor Drop Cable (G657A1/G657B)
    • Single-mode drop cable with self-supporting structure
    • Suitable for outdoor-to-indoor access networks
    • Price is available on request, often negotiable for bulk orders .
  4. ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) Cable
    • Loose tube stranded, 200µm or 250µm fibers, water-resistant filling
    • Non-metallic central strength member, PE or anti-tracking outer sheath
    • Marketed as affordable, generally in the $1–$3 per foot range depending on fiber count and specifications .
  5. Corning ALTOS® Loose Tube Gel-Free Cable
    • All-dielectric, gel-free, water-blocked, suitable for aerial and duct installations
    • Flexible, easy to route, medium-density polyethylene jacket
    • Pricing is typically quoted per project or per foot, often comparable to other all-dielectric outdoor cables .
Key Considerations
  • Fiber Count: Higher fiber counts increase cost per foot.
  • Cable Type: Armored or figure-8 designs are more expensive than standard all-dielectric cables.
  • Installation Method: Direct burial or aerial installation may require additional protection, affecting total cost.
  • Bulk Orders: Many suppliers offer discounts for large quantities or container loads. For precise pricing, it is recommended to contact suppliers directly with your required fiber count, cable type, and installation length to obtain a detailed quote.
