Termination Fiber Optics Cable
Application
LSZH cables are designed for indoor and outdoor use. Dry core design for excellent water blocking performance and easier handling. The outer jacket uses a flame-retardant Low Smoke Zero-Halogen material. Applied to connection between outside plant stranded loose tube cable and terminal distribution frame in central office.
Construction
Loose Tube Flame Retardant Cable
1Outer sheath
2Ripcord
3Peripheral strength element-Aramid yarn
4Water blocking element
5Loose tube
6Colour fibers
7Center strength member(CSM)- Galvanized steel wire with oversheath
Property
- CSM: Galvanized steel wire with oversheath and wrappng of water blocking element, could provide efficient tension for cable.
- Loose Tube: 6 or 12 fibers per PBT loose tube and filled with a suitable jelly compound.
- Filler:Thermoplastic rods, where needed.
- Stranding:Loose tubes (and filler), SZ stranded around the CSM.
- Peripheral Strength Element: (Option)
- Longitudinal water tightness : Water blocking element used for eliminates the need for traditional flooding compound and provides efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation.
- Ripcord:Nylon thread or Aramid yarn for easily stripping of the sheath.
- Outer Sheath: (Option)
Aramid yarns could be used if required.
Non-strength element.
LSZH LAP sheath: Low Smoke Zero Halogen Laminated Aluminum sheath for moisture barrier. and Flame retardant characteristics.
LSZH PE sheath: Low Smoke Zero Halogen sheath for Flame retardant characteristics.
