CommScope C-072-LA-8W-M12BK/25D/C Fiber Optic Cable

Product ID: 810010546/DB

Product Overview

The CommScope C-072-LA-8W-M12BK/25D/C is a high-performance fiber optic cable designed for indoor and outdoor applications. It features a Single Jacket/Single Armor construction with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) properties and a Cca flame rating. This cable houses 72 Singlemode fibers, specifically G.652.D and G.657.A1 types, within a Gel-Free, Stranded Loose Tube configuration. The jacket is black with meter markings.

The corrugated steel tape armor provides robust protection, offering enhanced resistance to crush forces and rodents, ensuring cable integrity in demanding environments.

Representative Image Description: The cable cross-section shows an outer black LSZH jacket, followed by corrugated steel tape armoring, a binder, water-swellable tape, another binder, and then six 2.5 mm diameter gel-free buffer tubes. Each buffer tube contains 12 x 250-micron Singlemode fibers. A dielectric strength member is also present.
