Application

The Fire resistant multi loose tube non metallic Fiber Optic cables are designed for outside plant, which is prone to electrical interference. They are mainly installed inside buildings, tunnels,subways or closed areas in general, specially designed to guarantee the signal transmission even in case of fire. The cable can also be used for direct burial for armoured version.

Standards:

Basic design to Telcordia GR-20 / RUS 7 CFR 1755.900 (REA PE-90) / ICEA S 87-640

Physical AND THERMAL PROPERTIES

Temperature range during operation (fixed state): -20°C - +60°C

Fibers:

Singlemode and multimode fibers, with loose tube technology.

Structure:

The cable consists of 5 to 36 fibers containing tubes or fillers stranded in up to 3 layers around a central strength member and bound under a LSZH sheath. Each tube contains 4 -12 fibers, which is filled with water blocking gel.

Central Strength Member:

Solid or stranded steel wire coated with polyethylene is usually used as central strength member. Fiber glass reinforced plastics (FRP) will be used as central strength member if non metallic construction is required.

Fire Barrier:

The jelly filled tubes containing the fibers are individually wound with fire blocking mica glass tape and are cabled around a central strength member.

Water Blocking:

The jelly filled tube is waterblocked by using swellable tape and thread.

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):

The cable can be jacketed with either PE or Thermoplastic LSZH inner sheath. PE is the preferred option in outdoor environment for water protection purpose.

Armouring(optional):

For diect burial, either galvanized steel wire braid, corrugated steel tape armour or galvanized steel wire armour is applied over an inner polyethylene or LSZH sheath. For steel tape armour, the 0.15mm thick steel tape is coated with a copolymer and applied with an overlap. For steel wire braid or armour, single layer of galvanized steel wire braid or armour is applied.

Moisture Barrier Tape (optional):

An aluminum moisture tape can be incorporated under the sheath for water blocking and shielding purpose.

Ripcord (optional):

An optional ripcord can be located under the jacket to facilitate jacket removal.

Outer Sheath:

Thermoplastic LSZH compound
