Please login or register to see price, or request a quote

Our Loose Tube Fibre cables are constructed using a water blocking gel filled tube which can contain up to 24 colour coded 250um buffered fibres.

This tube is covered with aramid strength members and a flame retardant and LSZH outer sheath.

Specification:

  • Long distance outside plant telephone. CATV as well as data communications
  • Direct burial and installations in ducts
  • The elements are usually tubes containing fibre, however fillers are also used, when needed, to preserve cable geometry
  • The cables can be ordered with a central strength member, either made of dielectric FRP, or made of solid or stranded steel coated with polyethylene
  • 4 -24 colour coded fibres are loosely laid in each tube that is filled with a water blocking gel
