Product Description:

Non-Metallic Central Loose Tube Outdoor Optical Cable is engineered to provide a lightweight, cost-effective, and highly reliable solution for low-to-medium fiber count outdoor installations. Featuring a central loose tube design with all-dielectric (non-metallic) components, this cable offers excellent protection for optical fibers while eliminating the risks associated with metallic elements such as lightning strikes and electromagnetic interference. Available in core counts from 2 to 24 fibers, it is the ideal choice for access networks, subscriber lines, and short-to-medium haul outdoor applications.

Key Specifications & Features:

Flexible Core Count Range: Available in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 core configurations to suit various network capacity requirements, from simple point-to-point links to small distribution networks .

Central Loose Tube Design: Features a single central tube containing all fibers, providing a compact and lightweight cable construction while isolating fibers from external mechanical stresses .

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 .

High Tensile Strength: Reinforced with aramid yarns as strength members, providing excellent tensile strength for installation in challenging outdoor environments while maintaining the all-dielectric characteristic .

Water-Blocking Technology: The central tube is filled with water-blocking gel to prevent water ingress and protect fibers from moisture damage, ensuring long-term reliability in 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 .

Compact and Lightweight: The central tube design results in a smaller cable diameter and lighter weight compared to stranded loose tube alternatives, making it easier to handle and install, particularly in conduit systems with limited space .

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

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

The compact non-metallic design and flexible core count options make this central loose tube cable ideal for a wide range of outdoor and specialized applications.

-Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Distribution Networks
Perfect for feeder and distribution segments of FTTH networks, connecting central offices to distribution points in residential areas. The 2-12 core options are ideal for serving small neighborhoods or apartment buildings, while the 24-core version provides additional capacity for growing subscriber bases.

-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.

-High-Voltage Power Line Environments
Ideal for installations near power transmission corridors, electrical substations, and railway electrification systems where electromagnetic interference is a concern. The all-dielectric construction eliminates the risk of induced currents from high-voltage power lines.

-Telecommunications Access Networks
Well-suited for local loop connections, business access lines, and subscriber drops in metropolitan and rural telecommunications networks. The compact design allows for efficient use of existing conduit infrastructure.

-Duct and Conduit Installations
Perfect for installations in underground conduit systems where space is limited. The small cable diameter and lightweight construction make it easy to pull through crowded ducts and conduits, reducing installation time and labor costs.

-Aerial Installations (with Messenger)
Suitable for aerial deployment when lashed to a separate messenger wire or when integrated with a dielectric figure-8 design. The non-metallic construction eliminates grounding concerns in aerial installations.

-Campus Backbone Connections
Ideal for short-to-medium distance connections between buildings in university, hospital, corporate, and government campus environments. The 12 and 24 core options provide capacity for multiple services while maintaining a compact footprint.

-Security and Surveillance Networks
Perfect for connecting remote security cameras and sensors to central monitoring facilities. The non-metallic design ensures no interference with other systems and eliminates grounding requirements in distributed security installations.

-Temporary and Emergency Restoration
Well-suited for temporary network deployments and emergency restoration scenarios where quick installation and lightweight handling are essential. The compact design allows for rapid deployment with minimal equipment.

-Industrial Control and Monitoring
Ideal for industrial facilities where electromagnetic interference from machinery and power equipment could affect data transmission. The all-dielectric construction provides complete immunity to EMI, ensuring reliable communication for control and monitoring systems.

-Remote Site Connectivity
Perfect for connecting remote facilities, outbuildings, gatehouses, and equipment shelters to a central network. The robust outdoor construction withstands environmental exposure while the non-metallic design simplifies installation in remote locations.

-Utility and Pipeline Monitoring
Suitable for communication and sensing applications along water, gas, and oil pipelines where non-conductive cabling is preferred for safety reasons and where lightning protection is essential.
