Indoor/outdoor semi tight buffered riser fiber cable comprises of 4 or 6 sub-units stranded around a FRP central strength member. Sub-units comprise of 6 or 8 or 12 fibers.
Each fiber is semi tight coated to a 900 micron diameter, with a durable, protective material and the coating (LSZH buffer material). Each buffered fiber is uniquely color coded. Surrounding the group of buffered fibers are water blocking aramid yarns to provide the sufficient tensile strength to the cable, which effectively avoids damaging the cable during the installation, transportation, operation etc. A sheath is then applied over the sub-unit, tight fiber / aramid assembly and sub-units are colored black and ink jet printed with unique numbers (e.g. UNIT 1, UNIT 2, etc at 300mm intervals) to aid installation. The sheath has a flame retardant function, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Two water blocking yarns are applied over the central strength member (one longitudinally and one helically). The SZ stranded assembly has a water blocking tape which is then outer sheathed with Black LSZH jacket. A ripcord applied under outer sheath. All products are RoHS compliant.
Available only in Australia.
