MSS Fibre 6F LOOSE TUBE CABLE OM4 PEnYLON CAB-LT-06-MM4

Description

MSS Fibre 6F OM4 Loose Tube Cable for Underground Installation

The MSS Fibre 6F OM4 Loose Tube Cable is designed for outdoor fibre optic infrastructure requiring a durable cable construction for underground installation. Featuring six OM4 multimode fibre cores, this cable is suitable for network applications that require multiple optical fibres within a single cable assembly.

The loose tube design accommodates the fibres within gel-filled tubes, helping protect them from environmental influences during installation and service. A dry-block core incorporates water-swellable materials to help restrict water ingress, making the cable suitable for specified direct-burial and conduit or duct applications.

Its construction combines a UV-resistant polyethylene (PE) inner sheath with an outer blue nylon jacket designed to resist insect and termite damage. This layered design makes the cable a practical option for outdoor telecommunications and network infrastructure projects.

Water Blocking and Non-Metallic Reinforcement

The cable uses thixotropic gel-filled tubes alongside water-blocking tape and swellable yarns to help prevent moisture from travelling through the cable core. These features are important for underground installations where exposure to moisture can affect cable performance over time.

A central non-metallic fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) strength member provides tensile reinforcement without a metallic component. This construction supports cable handling and installation while maintaining the non-armoured design.

The black PE inner sheath provides UV resistance, while the blue polyamide nylon outer jacket adds protection against insects and termites. Polyester-based rip cords are included to assist with sheath removal during preparation and termination.

Practical Fibre Infrastructure for Outdoor Networks

The MSS 6F OM4 loose tube cable is suited to outdoor network installations where fibre connectivity must be routed underground or through ducts. Its six-core configuration supports network layouts requiring several fibres, while OM4 multimode fibre is commonly used for suitable high-bandwidth links over supported distances.

The cable is non-armoured and does not include a sacrificial sheath, so installation conditions and mechanical protection requirements should be assessed before specifying it. Confirm compatibility with the planned network, termination equipment and applicable installation requirements.
