Our 48 Core CST Loose Tube Armored Fiber Optic Cable is a robust and reliable solution for both indoor and outdoor communication networks. This cable features a durable construction, incorporating a central FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) strength member surrounded by loose tubes containing 12 fibers each. To ensure optimal protection, a water-blocking fiberglass yarn and a corrugated steel tape (CST) armor layer are applied over the loose tube bundle. The outer sheath can be customized with PE, LSZH, or other specified materials to meet specific requirements.
Key Features
- High Fiber Count: Offers 48 cores (144 fibers) for ample capacity.
- Durable Construction: CST armor provides excellent protection against physical damage.
- Water Resistance: Water-blocking materials safeguard fiber integrity.
- Flexible Deployment: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
- Customization Options: Available in various fiber core counts (12 to 288) and outer sheath materials.
This product is ideal for applications demanding high performance and long-term reliability in demanding conditions.
