UCFIBRE™® LTFGP SERIES

4-144 Cores, Non Metallic Armoured Rodent Resistant Cable,HDPE Sheath

Features

  • Central strength member (CSM): glass fibre reinforced plastic material (FRP) with plastic coating when needed.
  • Tube: thermoplastic material, containing up to 12 optical fibres and filled with a suitable water tightness compound.
  • Stranding: The required numbers of elements (tubes or fillers) are SZ stranded around the central strength member.
  • Longitudinal Water Tightness: WB jelly and water blocking yarn (partial jelly filled).
  • Peripheral reinforcement: glass yarns.
  • PE Outer Sheath: HDPE with rodent repellent additive.

Overview

LTZMSM Series offer better mechanical protection than LTZSM Series and is able to be deployed in exposed environment over short distances reducing the reliability of ducts and hence better cost efficiency.

Additional Options

Ordering Information
UCFIBRE™® LTFGP SERIES FO Cable part numbers are made up using the table below.The part number always starts with the letters LTFGP to denote that it is a UCFIBRE™® LTFGP SERIES FO Cable. This is followed by 3 numbers which symbolizes the core quantity and then 2 letters to denote the fibre type. Example of a UCFIBRE™® LTFGP SERIES FO Cable part number:LTFGP008M4 The above example describes an OM4 (50um, Orange Sheath) UCFIBRE™® LTFGP SERIES FO Cable, with 8 cores.
