Flame Retardant Fiber Optic Cables
Flame Retardant Tight Buffered Distribution Fiber Optic cables
MTA-B-C-D-H
Application :
This cables are used for interconnection of distribution boxes and end devices, where continued functionality is required during a fire situation. The cables are very suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications, including routing between buildings within ducts and inside building up to riser shafts.
Standards:
Basic design to Telcordia GR409-CORE / TIA/EIA 568B.3 / ICEA-S-83-596

Note: Asterisk * denotes superseded standard.
Cable Construction :
Optical fibers: Singlemode and multimode tight fibers, with tight buffer coating.
Reinforcement: Either aramid yarn or fiber glass is wound around the tube to provide physical protection and tensile strength, with added fire protection.
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 removal.
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:
Temperature range during operation (fixed state): -20°C - +60°C
Temperature range during installation (mobile state): 0°C - +50°C
Minimum bending radius: 10 times the outer diameter for unarmoured cables 20 times the outer diameter for
armoured cables
