Description
In OMC’s 48F Stranded Loose Tube Armored Cable – GYFTSH, A FRP&PE cushion layer is located in the center of core as a metallic strength member. Single-mode/multimode Fiber are positioned in the loose tube, which is made of PBT materials and filled with filling compound. The loose tube is covered with Water Blocking Glass Yarn+ Corrugated Steel tape. A UV-LSZH materials cable Jacket guarantee the compactness and longitudinal water-blocking performance.
