Industrial LSZH™ Tray-Rated, Loose Tube, Gel-Free, Double-Jacket Cable 144 F, Single-mode (OS2)
Brand: CORNING
Product Overview
Corning LSZH™ industrial fiber optic cables are engineered for industrial building backbones and demanding environments, surpassing typical datacom cable requirements. These cables are flame-retardant and designed to meet rigorous mechanical and environmental conditions. This ruggedized armored version provides enhanced protection and is also available in a gel-filled, cold-temperature variant. The 250 µm individually color-coded fibers facilitate easy identification during installation. A key advantage of Corning industrial cables is their low-smoke/zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath, which offers life-safety benefits by excluding halogens commonly found in traditional data communication cables.
Features and Benefits:
- Low-smoke, zero-halogen sheath: A key life-safety benefit.
- Meets cyclic impact and chemical resistance test: Superior performance.
- Common installations: Outdoor aerial and duct.
Cable Description and Construction
The cable features a stranded loose tube design with a dielectric central element. It includes water-swellable tapes and rip-cords for enhanced protection. The outer jacket is black, flame-retardant, non-corrosive, low-smoke, and zero-halogen (FRNC/LSZH) material. The cable contains 12 active tubes, each with 12 fibers, totaling 144 fibers.
Visual Description of Cable Cross-Section:
The cable cross-section shows a central dielectric element surrounded by multiple buffer tubes. Water-swellable tapes are layered around these components, along with rip-cords. The outer jacket is clearly labeled as FRNC/LSZH. The individual fibers within the buffer tubes are color-coded.
