Tight Buffer Distribution PVC/LSZH Jacketed Cable

Application:
This cable is used for interconnection of the distribution boxes and end devices. The cable is very suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications, including routing between buildings within ducts and inside building up to riser shafts.
Description: Construction:

The Distribution Cable consists of color-coded PVC tight buffered fibers. The fibers are reinforced with aramid yarn for superior strength and contains no metallic elements. The fibers are jacketed with Flame Retardant PVC or LSZH compound.

Features:

  • Used in LAN and distribution applications where compact size and lightweight are required
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use - no need for splicing at the building entrance
  • Flame-retardant or LSZH version for indoor installations
  • Fungus-resistant, water-resistant, and UV-resistant for outdoor installations
  • Cable can be armoured for additional protection in direct burial and aerial installations
  • Highest specific strength-to-weight ratio for limited conduit space
  • Economical for longer distance runs where cable cost are significant
  • High quality tight-buffered coating on fiber for environmental and mechanical protection
