Product Description:

Non-Metallic Stranded Loose Tube Outdoor Optical Cable is engineered to deliver high-fiber-count connectivity in environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a concern or where lightning protection is required. Featuring an all-dielectric design with zero metal components, this cable provides a robust, lightweight, and completely non-conductive solution for long-distance outdoor installations. Available in core counts from 12 to 144 fibers, it meets the demands of modern high-bandwidth networks while eliminating the risk of induced currents and lightning damage.

Key Specifications & Features:

Extensive Core Count Range: Available in 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, and 144 core configurations to suit various network capacity requirements, from regional distribution networks to high-density backbone connections .

All-Dielectric Non-Metallic Construction: Contains absolutely no metal components, providing complete immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This design eliminates the need for grounding and protects against lightning strikes and high-voltage power lines .

Stranded Loose Tube Design: Features multiple color-coded loose tubes stranded around a non-metallic central strength member. This construction isolates fibers from external mechanical stresses, ensuring stable transmission performance over long distances .

High Tensile Strength: Reinforced with aramid or fiberglass yarns as strength members, providing excellent tensile strength for installation in challenging outdoor environments .

Water-Blocking Technology: Filled with water-blocking gel or water-swellable materials to prevent water ingress and migration, ensuring long-term reliability in humid or wet outdoor conditions .

Durable PE Outer Sheath: Encased in a high-density polyethylene (PE) outer jacket, offering excellent resistance to UV radiation, moisture, temperature extremes, and environmental degradation .

Fiber Compatibility: Supports various fiber types including G.652.D single-mode, G.657.A1/A2 bend-insensitive, and OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 multimode fibers to meet specific application requirements .

Wide Operating Temperature Range: Engineered to perform reliably in extreme climates with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C .

Crush and Impact Resistance: Robust construction provides excellent resistance to crushing forces and impacts during installation and throughout the cable's service life .

Standards Compliance: Meets or exceeds relevant industry standards including IEC 60794, Telcordia GR-20, and ITU-T recommendations .

The non-metallic, all-dielectric construction and high-fiber-count options make this cable ideal for a wide range of outdoor and specialized applications.

-High-Voltage Power Line Environments
Perfect for installation along power transmission corridors, electrical substations, and railway electrification systems. The all-dielectric construction eliminates the risk of induced currents from high-voltage power lines, ensuring personnel safety and preventing damage to connected equipment. No grounding or bonding is required.

-Long-Haul Telecommunications Networks
Ideal for regional and long-distance backbone networks requiring high fiber counts for data transmission between cities or major population centers. The 96 and 144 core options provide ample capacity for current demands and future network expansion.

-Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs)
Well-suited for metro ring networks connecting multiple locations within a city or urban area. The robust outdoor construction withstands the rigors of urban installation environments, including conduits, tunnels, and direct burial applications.

-Areas with High Lightning Activity
Essential for installations in geographic regions prone to frequent lightning strikes. The non-metallic design eliminates the risk of lightning damage to the cable and connected network equipment, reducing maintenance costs and improving network reliability.

-Railway and Transit Communication Networks
Ideal for fiber optic communication networks along railway lines, subway systems, and transit corridors. The non-metallic construction ensures no interference with signaling systems and eliminates grounding concerns in electrified rail environments.

-Wind Farm and Solar Energy Installations
Perfect for communication networks within renewable energy facilities where electromagnetic interference from power generation equipment is present. The all-dielectric design ensures reliable data transmission for monitoring and control systems without interference.

-Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Distribution Networks
Well-suited for feeder and distribution segments of FTTH networks, connecting central offices to distribution points in residential areas. The 12-72 core options provide flexibility for different neighborhood densities, while the non-metallic construction simplifies installation in residential areas.

-Campus Backbone Connections
Ideal for large university, hospital, corporate, and government campus environments where cables must be installed between multiple buildings. The non-metallic construction eliminates grounding requirements between buildings with different electrical potentials.

-Oil and Gas Pipeline Monitoring
Suitable for communication and sensing applications along oil and gas pipelines where spark prevention is critical. The non-metallic construction eliminates any risk of sparks from metallic components in potentially explosive atmospheres.

-Military and Defense Installations
Perfect for secure military communications where non-metallic, non-conductive cabling is required to prevent detection or to meet specific operational security requirements.

-Underground and Tunnel Installations
Ideal for installation in tunnels, mines, and underground infrastructure where lightning protection is not possible and where non-conductive cabling is preferred for safety reasons.

-Environmental Monitoring Networks
Well-suited for remote environmental monitoring stations, weather stations, and scientific research facilities where lightning protection and EMI immunity are essential for reliable data collection.
