MSS Fibre 24F LOOSE TUBE CABLE OM3 PEnYLON CAB-LT-24-MM3

Description

MSS Fibre 24F OM3 Loose Tube Cable for Underground Installation

The MSS Fibre 24F Loose Tube Cable OM3, model CAB-LT-24-MM3, is designed for outdoor fibre optic network installations requiring dependable protection against moisture, insects and underground environmental conditions. Featuring 24 OM3 multimode fibres, this cable is suited to telecommunications infrastructure, commercial data networks and other applications requiring fibre connectivity.

Its loose tube construction houses the optical fibres within gel-filled tubes, with 12 fibres per tube according to the supplied product information. This arrangement helps protect the fibres while supporting practical installation in demanding outdoor environments.

The cable combines a black polyethylene (PE) inner sheath with a blue nylon outer jacket. The PE sheath provides UV resistance, while the nylon jacket offers additional resistance to insects and termites. This construction makes the cable suitable for specified direct burial applications as well as installation through conduits and ducts.

Water Blocking and Non-Metallic Strength

Moisture protection is an important consideration for underground fibre optic infrastructure. This cable incorporates thixotropic gel within the loose tubes, alongside water-blocking tape and water-swellable yarns in the core. These features help limit water ingress and protect the internal optical fibres.

A central non-metallic, fibre-reinforced plastic strength member provides tensile support during cable installation. This design avoids a metallic central strength member, making it a practical option for network installations where a non-metallic cable construction is required.

Polyester-based rip cords are also incorporated to assist with sheath removal during preparation and termination, helping installers access the cable core for subsequent fibre handling.

Practical Fibre Infrastructure for Outdoor Networks

The MSS Fibre 24F OM3 loose tube cable provides a practical option for contractors working on underground communications infrastructure and outdoor data networks. Its combination of moisture-blocking construction, UV-resistant materials and insect-resistant protection supports use in challenging installation environments.

The cable is non-armoured and does not include a sacrificial sheath, so installation requirements should be assessed before specifying it for a project. Confirm compatibility with the intended network, installation method and required fibre performance before ordering.
