K209B LSZH Armoured Optical Fiber Cables
Application
The cables are designed for long distance telecommunication and using optical fibres in urban railways
infrastructure. These low smoke halogen-free cables are laid on hooks, pulled through ducts or cable trays.
Standards
RATP K209B or RATP K209A
Construction
Compact Tube
6 or 12 singlemode optical fibres G652 or multimode fi bers assembled under thermoplastic “peelable” skin. Tube
diameter: 1mm.
Filling
Water-swelling yarns.
Tube
Thermoplastic.
Peripheral Strength Member
Water-swelling glass yarns.
Armour
Corrugated steel tape armour 25/100.
Sheath
LSZH.
Optional
K209A Type: For K209A type, the cables have loose tubes with 6-12 fi bers, steel wire strand as central strength
member, glass yarn reinforced, incorporating a corrugated steel tape armour and an outer UV stabilized LSZH
jacket.
