I was advised to use gel filled loose tube cable underground. The
stated reason being that every underground conduit eventually ends up
with water in it, and you don't want the water to find its way into your
cable. That one could have gel in it, but I don't see it stated on the
spec sheet.
Honestly I don't know how the water hurts the glass.....I was just told
not to let it in.

We have about 550 feet to distribute to 40 unit MDU situation.
Thinking of using 2 of these in 24 count to save me some termination
work. The main question is, if we pull this in conduit, would the
cable hold up long term? Obviously, we seal the conduit, but if/when
water got into the conduit, would the cable jacket hold up over time?
