Our CST Armoured Uni-Tube Fiber Optic Cable is engineered for exceptional performance in demanding environments. This cable features a loose tube design where 4 to 24 optical fibers are securely housed in a water-blocking gel-filled tube. For added protection, a corrugated steel tape (CST) armor layer is wrapped around the central unit, providing superior crush resistance and rodent protection. The outer PE or LSZH black jacket ensures durability and environmental resistance.  

Key Features

  • Customizable: Choose from a wide range of fiber counts (4, 12, 24, 48, 96, 144, 288), fiber types, and jacket colors to meet your specific requirements.  
  • Reliable: Water-blocking gel and CST armor safeguard fibers from environmental hazards.  
  • Durable: High-quality materials and robust construction ensure long-lasting performance.
  • Flexible: Suitable for various installation scenarios, including direct burial and duct deployment.  
  • Identifiable: Clear cable sheath printing with length markings for easy management.  

Ideal for outdoor applications where mechanical protection and environmental resistance are critical, our CST Armoured Uni-Tube Fiber Optic Cable delivers reliable and high-performance data transmission.
