LOOSE TUBE FIBRE OPTIC CABLE

Description

A Termite resistant Loose tube cable featuring a non-metallic strength member, gel filled tubes and a dry block core, for use in both direct bury and conduit/duct applications.
The Thixotropic gel filled tubes and water swellable yarns (dry core) prevent water ingress while the non-metallic glass fibre reinforced plastic central strength member maintains excellent tensile strength.
This standard loose tube construction features an inner UV resistant Polyethylene (PE) sheath and an outer termite/UV resistant Polyamide Nylon jacket. Other options include Composite (MM + SM), Sacrificial Sheath and CST Armour.
Features and Benefits:

• Blue UV and Insect/Termite resistant Nylon (Polyamide) Jacket
• Black PE (Polyethylene) UV resistant Inner sheath
• Polyester based rip cords for easy sheath removal
• Water blocking tape and swellable yarns prevent ingress into the core
• Thixotropic gel filled tubes prevent water ingress into the tubes
• Non-metallic fibre reinforced plastic rod central strength member provides tensile strength
