External Mini Loose Tube, Optical Fiber Cable

'

Part No: AFOMS

Region: apac

The External Mini Loose Tube Optical Fiber Cable is a loose tube dielectric optical cable designed for external underground installations in (micro) ducts by pulling, blowing or floating techniques. Polyamide provides anti-termite protection. Optimized for blowing in mini ducts of 10mm diameter (internal).

***PLEASE NOTE THIS PRODUCT IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND***

Multi-loose tube construction – 2 to 144 fibers
The tube is made of a thermoplastic material, containing up to 12 optical fibers filled with a low viscosity, thixotropic, non-melting gel fully compatible with fiber coating and tube material. A glass GRP strength member and water swellable elements (drycore) provide longitudinal water tightness. The inner sheath is made up of a UV stabilized polyethylene in compliance with AS 1049. The hard jacket is a UV stabilized polyamide (Nylon) in compliance with AS 1049 integrally bonded to PE inner sheath. The outer sheath is a UV stabilized polyethylene in compliance with AS 1049. Two ripcords provided beneath the sheath for easy removal.
