Flame Retardant Tight Buffered Distribution Fiber Optic cables

MTA-B-C-D-H

Flame Retardant Optic Fiber Cables

APPLICATION

This Firetox Flame Retardant Cables are used for interconnection of distribution boxes and end devices, where continued functionality is required during a fire situation. The cables are very suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications, including routing between buildings within ducts and inside building up to riser shafts.

STANDARDS

Basic design to Telcordia GR409-CORE / TIA/EIA 568B.3 / ICEA-S-83-596

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

Optical fibers: Singlemode and multimode tight fibers, with tight buffer coating.
Reinforcement: Either aramid yarn or fiber glass is wound around the tube to provide physical protection and tensile strength, with added fire protection.
Inner Sheath(optional): Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1
Ripcord(optional): An optional ripcord can be located under the outer sheath to facilitate jacket removal.

Armouring(optional):
STA: Corrugated steel tape armour
SWB: Steel wire braid
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting LSZH compound type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered.)

Physical AND THERMAL PROPERTIES
