Multi Loose Tube Cable

Fiber optic cables are constructed in two ways.

Multi loose tube cable.

Their designs utilize 250µm fibers in both central multi loose tube constructions ranging in fiber counts from 2 to 288. The multi loose tube non metallic cable is designed for outside plant which is prone to electrical interference. Both contain a type of strengthening member such as aramid yarn stainless steel wire strands or gel filled sleeves. Outdoor fiber optic cable.

Multi loose tube cable. Since the tube does not have direct contact with the fiber any cable material expansion or contraction will not cause stress on the fiber. 6 f fx loose tube cable os2 outdoor osp black jacket black jacket. Sz stranding design allows for easy mid span access and isolate fibers from installation and environmental rigors.

Being a micro cable makes this cable suitable for blowing into microducts. Strain free fibers in a stranded multi loose tube design. Multi loose tube cables in loose tube cables the coated fiber floats within a rugged abrasion resistant oversized tube which is filled with optical gel. All our outdoor cables are strong robust and agile to deal with harsh environments direct burial and aerial applications.

Strength member and bound under a pe jacket. Multi loose tube fibre optic cables are ideal for outdoor communications long distance and local area network lan connections. Each however is designed for very different environments. Add to cart add to list.

Fiber count up to 144. The multi loose tube cable construction consists of up to 144 250µm optical fibers in 12 fiber gel filled loose tubes with fillers where appropriate sz stranded around a fiber reinforced plastic frp central strength member with waterswellable threads and waterswellable tape. Mfr part fssl006nf. But there are two basic styles of fiber optic cable construction.

Most common and widely used design. Multi loose tube micro cable consists of up to 24 fibres within a gel filled central tube with water blocking glass yarns. Loose tube and tight buffered. Fiber loose tube cable belden s loose tube cables are ideal for both outdoor indoor outdoor applications including use in conduit direct burial lashed aerial trunking.

The cable consists of 5 to 36 fi bers containing tubes or fi llers stranded in up to 3 layers around a central. Loose tube fiber and tight buffered fiber. From the picture below we can see that loose tube fiber holds more than one optical fiber each individually. Multi loose tube cables are typically used in building backbone access application networks.
