Techlogiks armoured loose tube cables are the product of choice as the backbone in Outside Plant (OSP) environments. The rugged loose tube design offers reliable transmission performance over a broad temperature range. Optical Fibers and water-blocking elements are placed inside buffer tubes. The core is constructed by stranding the buffer tubes around a central member. The core is wrapped with flexible strength members covered with a polyester tape then encased with a black inner jacket. An ECCS armoured is applied and a black outer jacket completes the cable construction. Rip cords are included under the inner jacket and armoured for ease of entry.
Standards Compliance: Telecordia GR-20, IEC 60794, EIA/TIA, ITU-T, EN187000, RUS1755.900
Applications: Direct bury and underground duct, Trunk, distribution and feeder cable, Local Loop, Metro, Long-haul and broadband network.
Advantages: High Fiber density, Multiple network applications, Reduces cable prep and installation time, Reduces the number of tools required, Improves compressive strength and rodent protection.
