Fibre Optic Cabling > Standard Cable

Product Details:

• Long distance outside plant telephone. CATV as well as data communications.
• Direct burial and installations in ducts.
• The elements are usually tubes containing fibre, however fillers are also used, when needed, to preserve cable geometry.
• The cables can be ordered with a central strength member, either made of dielectric FRP, or made of solid or stranded steel coated with polyethylene.
• 2 – 12 colour coded fibres are loosely laid in each tube that is filled with a water blocking gel.
• Standard tube diameters are 2.1mm for up to 6 fibres per tube and 2.5mm for 8 – 12 fibres per tube. (Other configurations available upon request).
• 4 – 432 fibres available.
• Wide range of jacket options available.
• Armoured versions available – Corrugated Steel Tape and Steel Wire Armour.
• Ripcord is located under the jacket to facilitate jacket removal.
• Cables tested according to TIA/EIA-455, IEC-60794-1-2 and EN-187000.
• Cables meet or exceed Bellcore requirements for outside plant cables (GR-20-CORE) when the appropriate options are chosen.
• Cables ordered with PVC or HFFR jackets meet the IEC-60332-1 standard. On request cables meeting the IEC-60332-3 can be supplied.
• Peripheral strength members may be added in order to reach the specified tensile load.
• Optical measurements are made after load removal.
