MSS Fibre 6F LOOSE TUBE CABLE SM SAC SHEATH CAB-LT-06-SMSS

Description

MSS 6F Single Mode Loose Tube Fibre Cable with Sacrificial Sheath

The MSS Fibre 6F Loose Tube Cable is designed for fibre optic infrastructure requiring additional protection against environmental exposure and termite activity. Featuring six single mode fibre cores, this cable uses a loose tube construction with a sacrificial sheath to support suitable underground and ducted installations.

Identified by product code CAB-LT-06-SMSS, the cable combines a blue UV-resistant, insect- and termite-resistant nylon outer jacket with black polyethylene (PE) sheathing. This layered construction provides an additional protective barrier for installations where cable durability and resistance to external conditions are important considerations.

Water-Blocking Construction and Mechanical Strength

The cable incorporates thixotropic gel-filled tubes to help prevent water ingress into the fibre tubes. Water-blocking tape and water-swellable yarns provide additional protection within the cable core, helping limit water migration through the construction.

A non-metallic, glass-fibre-reinforced plastic central strength member provides tensile strength without using a metallic reinforcement. This construction can be beneficial in fibre infrastructure where non-metallic cable components are preferred.

Polyester-based rip cords are included to simplify sheath removal during cable preparation. Together, these construction features support practical handling and installation for qualified telecommunications and infrastructure technicians.

Suitable for Underground and Ducted Fibre Installations

The MSS six-core single mode loose tube cable is intended for both direct-burial and conduit or duct applications, subject to project specifications and installation requirements. Its sacrificial outer sheath is designed to provide an additional protective layer against termite and insect activity, while the UV-resistant PE sheaths support exposure-related requirements.

For contractors planning underground fibre routes, network extensions or infrastructure upgrades, the cable combines six single mode fibres with water-blocking features and a non-metallic strength member. Confirm the required burial conditions, mechanical protection, installation method and applicable project standards before use.
