MSS Fibre 6F LOOSE TUBE CABLE OM1 PEnYLON CAB-LT-06-MM

Description

MSS Fibre 6F OM1 Loose Tube Cable for Underground Installations

The MSS Fibre 6F OM1 Loose Tube Cable is designed for outdoor fibre optic installations requiring protection against moisture, environmental exposure and insect damage. With six OM1 multimode fibre cores, this cable provides a practical solution for compatible network infrastructure projects involving underground cable routes, direct burial and conduit or duct installations.

Its loose tube construction houses the optical fibres within gel-filled tubes, helping protect them from environmental influences and supporting reliable fibre routing. A dry-block core incorporates water-blocking materials to help restrict water migration through the cable structure, making it suitable for consideration in outdoor telecommunications and data network installations.

Water-Blocking Construction and Mechanical Strength

The cable incorporates a non-metallic, glass fibre reinforced plastic central strength member to provide tensile strength without a metallic reinforcement element. This construction can be advantageous in installations where a non-metallic cable design is preferred.

Thixotropic gel within the loose tubes helps prevent water ingress, while water-swellable yarns and blocking tape provide additional moisture-management measures within the cable core. Together, these features support its intended use in underground and outdoor environments.

The black polyethylene (PE) inner sheath provides UV resistance, while the outer blue polyamide nylon jacket is designed to resist UV exposure and insect or termite damage. Polyester-based rip cords are also included to assist with sheath removal during cable preparation.

Durable Fibre Cabling for Outdoor Networks

The MSS 6F OM1 loose tube cable is suited to projects where fibre infrastructure must be routed underground or through protective conduit and duct systems. Its insect-resistant nylon jacket makes it a useful option for installations where termite exposure is a consideration.

For contractors and network technicians, the six-core configuration provides multiple optical fibres within one cable, supporting compatible network links and infrastructure layouts. The cable is non-armoured and does not include a sacrificial sheath, so additional mechanical protection may be required depending on the installation environment. Confirm fibre compatibility, installation conditions and applicable project requirements before specifying the cable.
