MSS Fibre 24F LOOSE TUBE CABLE SM SAC SHEATH CAB-LT-24-SMSS

Description

Designed for Demanding Outdoor Installations

The MSS Fibre 24F Loose Tube Single Mode Sacrificial Sheath Cable, model CAB-LT-24-SMSS, is designed for fibre optic infrastructure requiring protection against moisture, UV exposure and termite or insect activity. Its 24-fibre single mode construction supports telecommunications and network installations where reliable fibre connectivity is required.

Suitable for direct burial and conduit or duct applications, this loose tube fibre optic cable offers flexibility across a range of outdoor infrastructure projects. Its sacrificial sheath construction incorporates multiple protective layers to help address environmental challenges encountered in underground cable installations.

Multi-Layer Protection Against Environmental Exposure

The cable features a black, UV-resistant polyethylene (PE) inner sheath beneath a blue nylon (polyamide) jacket designed for insect and termite resistance. An additional black, UV-resistant PE sacrificial outer sheath provides a further protective layer.

Inside the cable, thixotropic gel-filled tubes help prevent water ingress, while water-blocking tape and water-swellable yarns provide additional moisture protection through the dry-block core construction. These features support cable integrity in applications where moisture management is an important installation consideration.

A non-metallic, glass fibre reinforced plastic central strength member provides tensile strength without introducing a metallic strength component. Polyester-based rip cords simplify sheath removal during cable preparation, helping installers access the cable core during termination and installation work.

Practical Choice for Fibre Infrastructure Projects

For telecommunications contractors, civil infrastructure teams and network installers, the CAB-LT-24-SMSS offers a combination of fibre capacity, environmental protection and practical installation features. Its loose tube design and layered sheath construction make it suitable for specified outdoor routes where direct burial or duct installation is required.

The 24-fibre single mode configuration is intended for projects requiring single mode fibre connectivity. Before ordering, confirm the cable’s compatibility with the required optical specifications, installation conditions and project design.
