Our 288 Core CST Armored Fibre Cable is a high-performance optical fiber cable designed for demanding network infrastructure. This cable offers exceptional reliability and flexibility, making it ideal for various applications.
Key Features
- High Core Count: Equipped with 288 fibers, this cable supports massive data transmission capacities, catering to large-scale network deployments.
- Customizable Core Counts: We offer a wide range of core counts from 4 to 288, providing tailored solutions to meet specific project requirements.
- Superior Protection: The cable features a multi-loose tube design with water-blocking materials and a corrugated steel tape (CST) armoring, ensuring optimal protection against environmental factors and mechanical stresses.
- Durable Construction: A central strength member (CSM) reinforces the cable’s structure, enhancing its overall durability and tensile strength.
- Versatile Sheathing: Available with PE, LSZH, or other outer sheath options to suit diverse installation environments.
Construction
288 individual fibers are carefully placed within 24 loose tubes filled with fiber jelly compound. These tubes are then stranded around a central strength member. To provide superior protection, the cable incorporates water-blocking glass yarn and a corrugated steel tape armoring layer. The cable is finally enclosed in a protective outer sheath made of the desired material.
Whether you’re building a new network or expanding an existing one, our 288 Core CST Fibre Cable offers the performance and reliability you need.
