APPLICATIONS
CABLE DESCRIPTION
The cable consists of 5 to 36 elements stranded in up to 3 layers around a dielectric central strength member and bound in a jacket. The elements are usually fiber-containing tubes, 1.5 mm in diameter; however fillers are also used, when needed, to preserve cable geometry. The tubes are filled with a thixotropic gel to prevent the ingress of water. Each tube contains 2 to 12 fibers.
The tubes and fibers are color coded for easy identification.
Water swelling materials are present between and around the cable core in order to provide full water blocking.
A black, UV resistant, HDPE jacket is extruded over the cable core.
