SL Series Compact Loose Central Tube Fiberoptic Cable

APPLICATIONS

• Both indoor and outdoor
• Ducts, aerial installations and direct burial (armored option)
• Distribution and general purpose cables

CABLE DESCRIPTION

The cable consists of a single tube containing 2 up to 24 fibers, which is filled with water-blocking gel. When the cable contains more than 12 fibers, they are divided in two groups. A colored thread identifies each group. Physical protection and tensile strength are provided by aramid yarn or fiberglass wound around the tube.
A wide range of jacket options is available: UV-stabilized PVC, halogen-free flame-retardant material, polyethylene with corrugated anti-rodent steel armoring, a jacket incorporating a sealed aluminum tape, and more. A ripcord is located under the jacket to facilitate jacket removal.
A Fig-8 self-supporting cable is available in all fiber-counts.

BENEFITS

• Small diameter and lightweight
• Cost-effective
• Wide operating temperature range
• Wide range of jacket options
