L-4 / Loose Tube Self Support Aerial Cable (Figure 8)
These types of optical fibre cables consist of several loose tubes. The optical fibres are placed into loose tube with filling compound and loose tubes are stranded around Non-metallic central strength member. They are suitable for higher fibre count and waterproof requirements.
Self-supporting type cables are composed with optical fibre cable and messenger wire. These cables are suitable for aerial installation.

L-3 / Loose Tube Wired Armoured Cable
These types of optical fibre cables consist of several loose tubes. The optical fibres are placed into loose tube with filling compound and loose tubes are stranded around non-metallic central strength member.
They are suitable for higher fibre count and waterproof requirements, excluding armouring layer.
These cables are sheathed with wire armour, which provides high tensile strength and crush resistance.
