The outdoor GRP and nylon loose-tube cable series combines state of the art installation performance, ultra-low attenuation and a high mechanical and environmental performance.
The cable type is typically used in transport applications such as terrestrial long-haul or metro networks where a low attenuation, high performance optical cable is required.
The protected armoured design is suited to areas where resistance to termites and resistance to rodents are prime concerns.
The cables are based on a dry waterblocked concentric core, slim loose tube design with up to 24 tubes per cable.
The cables have one or two layers of protective SZ laid tubes made of a robust PBT compound where each tube has 12 fibers. (excluding 6f)
The tubes are sheathed by inner HDPE and Nylon sheaths, protected by GRP rods, and jacketed in a sacrificial outer sheath.
The design facilitates easy fiber preparation and mid-span access.
