CABLE CONSTRUCTION

Optical fibers: Singlemode and multimode tight fibers, with tight buffer coating.

Fire Barrier: The tight buffered fibers are wrapped with fire blocking fiber glass yarns.

Inner Sheath(optional): Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1

Ripcord(optional): An optional ripcord can be located under the outer sheath to facilitate jacket remove

Armouring(optional):

STA: Corrugated steel tape armour

SWB: Steel wire braid

Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting LSZH

compound type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered.)

Physical AND THERMAL PROPERTIES
