Multi loose tube steel wire armoured optical cable
Cable Design

IEC/EN 60794

Central strength member (CSM): glass fibre reinforced plastic material

(FRP) with or without over-sheathing.
Tube: thermoplastic material, containing single-mode optical fibres and filled
with a suitable water tightness compound.
Stranding: the required number of elements (tubes or fillers) are SZ
stranded around the central strength member.
Longitudinal Water Tightness: water swellable elements (dry core).
Inner Sheath: black MDPE
Armour: galvanized steel wire
Outer Sheath: black HDPE
