K209B LSZH Armoured Optical Fiber Cables

Application

The cables are designed for long distance telecommunication and using optical fibres in urban railways infrastructure. These low smoke halogen-free cables are laid on hooks, pulled through ducts or cable trays.

Standard

  • RATP K209B or RATP K209A

Cable Construction

K209B

  • Compact Tube: 6 or 12 singlemode optical fibres G652 or multimode fi bers assembled under thermoplastic “peelable” skin. Tube diameter: 1mm.
  • Filling: Water-swelling yarns.
  • Tube: Thermoplastic.
  • Peripheral Strength Member: Water-swelling glass yarns.
  • Armour: Corrugated steel tape armour 25/100.
  • Sheath: LSZH.
  • Optional

  • K209A Type: For K209A type, the cables have loose tubes with 6-12 fi bers, steel wire strand as central strength member, glass yarn reinforced, incorporating a corrugated steel tape armour and an outer UV stabilized LSZH jacket.
