Steel Armoured Loose Tube Cable

The 700L series heavy duty loose tube cables are designed for direct burial and outdoor conduit installations.

The colour coded gel-filled buffer tubes, containing the optical fibres are cabled around a central strength member.

The outer polyethylene cable jacket bonds to a polymer coating on the steel armouring, enhancing the protection given to the cable against rodents and a variety of other hazards. This cable can be supplied with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen outer jacket.

Product Highlights

  • RoHS compliant
  • Rugged corrugated steel armour
  • Provides extra crush-resistance and rodent protection
  • UV resistant jacket
  • Loose tube construction
  • Gel filled loose tube provides protection against water penetration
  • Dry, super absorbent polymers (SAPs) eliminate water migration in cable interstices
  • Suitable for lashed aerial, duct, underground conduit and direct burial
Custom build cables are available for heavy or industrial applications to provide extra strength and durability; dual Jacket designs or interlock steel armour. Contact Tech Optics for more information.
