CommScope C-096-LA-8W-M12BK/25D/B Fiber Optic Cable
Product Number: 810010539/DB
Product Overview
The CommScope C-096-LA-8W-M12BK/25D/B is a high-performance fiber optic cable designed for indoor and outdoor use. It features a Single Jacket/Single Armor construction, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, 96 Singlemode fibers (G.652.D and G.657.A1), a Gel-Free Stranded Loose Tube design, and a Black jacket with Meter marking. It is rated B2ca for flame performance.
The cable incorporates corrugated steel tape armor, which provides robust strength and flexibility, offering enhanced protection against crush and rodent damage.
Representative Image: A visual representation of the fiber optic cable shows its construction, including the LSZH outer jacket, steel tape armoring, binder, ripcord, water swellable tape, binder, gel-free buffer tubes containing 250-micron fibers, and a dielectric strength member.
Cable Cross-Section Description: A detailed cross-section of the fiber optic cable illustrates the arrangement of its internal components: LSZH Outer Jacket, Steel Tape Armoring, Binder, Ripcord (2), Water Swellable Tape, Binder, 2.5mm Gel-Free Buffer Tubes, 250 micron Fibers, and Dielectric Strength Member.
