MSS Fibre 6F LOOSE TUBE SM ARMOUR PE/CST/PEnYLON CAB-LT-06-SMCST

Description

MSS 6F Single Mode CST Armoured Loose Tube Fibre Cable

The MSS Fibre 6F Single Mode CST Armoured Loose Tube Cable is designed for outdoor fibre optic installations where protection against environmental exposure, water ingress and rodent damage is important. Featuring six single mode fibre cores, this cable provides a practical solution for telecommunications networks and infrastructure projects requiring reliable fibre connectivity.

Its loose tube construction incorporates gel-filled tubes to help prevent water ingress around the optical fibres. Water-swellable yarns and water-blocking tape provide additional protection within the cable core, supporting its use in suitable outdoor installations.

The cable is identified by product code CAB-LT-06-SMCST and combines multiple protective layers with a non-metallic central strength member to support demanding cable routing requirements.

CST Armour and Protective Outer Sheath

Corrugated steel tape (CST) armour provides a protective layer designed to resist rodent damage. The cable also features a black polyethylene (PE) inner sheath and a blue polyamide nylon outer jacket designed for UV and insect or termite resistance.

These construction features make the cable suitable for consideration in outdoor infrastructure projects where environmental exposure and physical protection are key selection factors. Its armoured construction can be particularly useful when selecting fibre cable for direct burial or conduit and duct installations, subject to the project’s requirements.

Polyester-based rip cords are included to help technicians remove the sheath during cable preparation, supporting more convenient access during installation and termination.

Designed for Outdoor Network Infrastructure

The MSS six-core single mode loose tube cable is intended for fibre infrastructure applications requiring protection and dependable cable construction. Its non-metallic glass fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) central strength member provides tensile strength while avoiding a metallic central strength component.

The combination of CST armour, water-blocking materials and a protective nylon jacket makes this cable a practical option for telecommunications contractors, civil works teams and network infrastructure specialists.

Before installation, confirm the required fibre specifications, cable routing method, burial conditions and applicable project requirements. Additional installation protection may still be necessary depending on site conditions.
