SM Multi Loose Tube Mica Wrapped LSZH Inner Jacket Steel Wire Braided LSZH Outer Jacket Fire Resisting
FO
Cable

General Description

This document specifies multi loose tube cable with steel central strength member, containing up to 36 tube and

each tube contain up to 6 or 8 fibers. Jelly filled loose tubes are wrapped with mica and fire resisting tape. The

cable jacket incorporates LSZH inner jacket, steel wire braiding and LSZH outer jacket. All the fibers in the cores

are filled with water blocking gel.

Optical Characteristics    

The single-mode cabled fibers meet or exceed the requirements of ITUT G.652D and comply with IEC60793-2, as

listed in below:

Basic Construction

12 Fibers, Loose Tube Fiber optic Cable

SM Multi Loose Tube Mica Wrapped LSZH Inner Jacket Steel Wire Braided LSZH Outer Jacket Fire

Optical Fiber

Single-mode fibers meet or exceed the requirements of ITUT G.652D specification

Central Strength Member

2.5mm steel wire central strength member. PE is coated over the steel if necessary.

Loose Tube

PBT tubes, 1.80.1 mm outer diameter, contains 1-6 fibers each. The tubes are filled with a thixotropic gel to

prevent the ingress of water. Mica tape wraps each loose tube helically.

Fire Resisting Tape

Fire resisting tape provides additional protection against fire.

Inner Jacket

LSZH inner jacket is extruded over the cable core. The thickness is normally 1.0mm.

Steel Wire Braiding

Steel wire braiding is applied over the inner jacket. Outer diameter of the steel wire is 0.2mm

Outer Jacket

LSZH outer jacket is extruded over the armor. Nominal thickness is about 1.8mm

Marking

The meter mark is printed every meter with an accuracy of 0.5%. Other printing are available according to customer request.

﹡Length of Optical Cable

Standard length of each reel will be 1,000-2,000 meters.
