Underwater Loose tube 96 Singlemode fibres
The cable type is intended for river and lakes or direct burial installation.

Shallow Water Applications to 100 m. Depths, Underwater/Sea Port.
Installed in soft bedded trenches or suitably anchored and protected on the sea-floor.

The cable contains 96 Singlemode color-coded optical fibercontained in 8 color-coded loose tubes. These tubes are filled with a thixotropic gel to prevent the ingress of water and SZ stranded around a dielectric central strength member. A specially formulated gel is applied between all the interstices in the cable core to block water passage. Fillers are used as needed to preserve cable geometry. Fiber-glass strength yarns reinforce the cable core beneath an inner jacket. A layer of galvanized steel wires is stranded around the inner jacket to serve as an armor. An outer jacket completes the cable structure.
This cable can be installed up to 100 meter depth.
