Product Introduction

Armored Loose Tube Double Jacket/Single Armor fiber optic cables are designed to provide high fiber counts with the flexibility and versatility required for today's most demanding installations, including direct buried. With fiber counts up to 288 and S-Z strand designs.

The fibers, are positioned in a loose tube made of a high modulus plastic. The tubes are filled with a water-resistant filling compound. A steel wire, sometimes sheathed with polyethylene (PE) for cable with high fiber count, locates in the center of core as a metallic strength member. Tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular cable core. The cable core is filled with the filling compound to protect it from water ingress, over which a thin PE inner sheath is applied. After the corrugated steel tape is longitudinally applied over the inner sheath, the cable is completed with a PE outer sheath.

Features for Armored Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable:

• Excellent mechanical and temperature performance.
• Special tube filling compound ensure a critical protection of fiber and resist the water.
• Single steel wire as the central strength member to withstand axial loads.
• Inner sheath effectively lower the external mechanical loading.
• Corrugated steel tape longitudinal cover cable core and provide good crush resistance.
• PE sheath protects cable from ultraviolet radiation.
• 100% core filling water prevent cable jelly to ensure the cable watertight.

Application:

• Direct buried

• Underground conduit/duct
• Backbone
