COMPOSITE 12F SM + 12F OM3 LT CABLE

Description

Combined Singlemode and Multimode Fibre in One Cable

The Composite 12F SM + 12F OM3 Loose Tube Cable provides a practical solution for fibre optic installations requiring both singlemode and OM3 multimode fibres within a single cable assembly. With 12 fibres of each type, it supports infrastructure projects that require different optical fibre configurations while simplifying cable routing and installation planning.

Designed for direct-burial underground use, this cable features a polyethylene (PE) sheath and a blue nylon outer jacket. Its construction incorporates a central non-metallic strength member, providing structural support without a metallic central reinforcement element. The loose tube design houses the optical fibres in jelly-filled tubes, with 12 fibres per tube as specified.

Designed for Underground Installation

The cable’s PE sheath and nylon outer jacket make it suitable for specified direct-burial applications. The polyethylene sheath forms part of the cable’s external protective construction, while the blue nylon jacket provides an additional layer designed to resist insect damage.

Its underground application makes it a consideration for telecommunications infrastructure, commercial developments and other projects requiring buried fibre optic cabling. Installation suitability should be confirmed against the project’s environmental conditions, applicable standards and cable installation requirements.

Dry-Blocked Construction and Fibre Protection

The dry-blocked construction, combined with jelly-filled loose tubes, supports the cable’s fibre containment and protective design. A non-metallic central strength member provides a central structural element, while the loose tube arrangement keeps the optical fibres grouped within the cable.

Combining singlemode and OM3 multimode fibres can help contractors consolidate different fibre requirements into one cable run, depending on the network design. For project planning, confirm the required fibre types, routing, termination arrangements and compatibility with the intended optical equipment before installation.
