Multi element multi loose tube cable construction consists of up to 144, 250µm optical fibres in 12 fibre gel filled loose tubes with fillers where appropriate, SZ stranded around a fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) central strength member with waterswellable threads and waterswellable tape. Helically applied non metallic strength members with ripcord and PE inner Jacket, Corrugated steel tape (CST) armouring and black high density polyethylene (HDPE) final jacket with ripcord
Features
- Single layer stranded construction (up to 144 fibres)
- Corrugated steel tape as protection against rodents and mechanical damage
- Particularly robust cable, filled loose tube
- Inner and outer jacket are made of PE- Jacket
- Wrapped in water blocking tape
- Core- stranded loose tube, SZ technique
- Tensile strength elements – dielectic central strength member
- Fibre relevant standards ITU-T G.652, G. 655, G. 656 or a combination
- Cable relevant standards IEC 60793 and IEC 60794
Applications
- Direct burial
- Used in application with particularly high mechanical loads
