MSS Fibre 48F LOOSE TUBE CABLE SM PEnYLON CAB-LT-48-SM

Description

Reliable Fibre Optic Cable for Underground Installations

The MSS Fibre CAB-LT-48-SM is a singlemode loose tube fibre optic cable designed for underground telecommunications and network infrastructure. Featuring a polyethylene (PE) inner sheath and a blue nylon outer jacket, it is suited to direct burial installations and applications using conduit or duct systems. Its construction incorporates water-blocking materials and gel-filled loose tubes to help protect optical fibres against moisture ingress.

Water-Blocking Construction and Mechanical Support

This cable combines thixotropic gel-filled tubes with water-swellable yarns and water-blocking tape to help limit water migration through the cable core. A central non-metallic glass fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) strength member provides tensile support without using a metallic central element.

The black PE inner sheath provides a protective layer, while the outer polyamide nylon jacket is designed to resist ultraviolet exposure and insect or termite attack, as described in the supplied product information. Polyester-based rip cords also assist with sheath removal during installation and termination preparation.

Suitable for Telecommunications Infrastructure Projects

Designed for demanding outdoor cable routes, the MSS Fibre loose tube cable supports fibre network installations where underground protection and reliable cable construction are important considerations. Its singlemode configuration makes it suitable for compatible fibre optic systems requiring singlemode transmission.

The blue nylon jacket helps identify the cable, while the non-armoured construction provides an option for projects where a metallic armour layer is not specified. Installers should assess the route conditions, mechanical protection requirements and applicable installation standards before selecting a cable for a particular project.
