Applications
The RLC-1 family consists of 8 cable designs with fiber counts up to 384. All designs can be provided with a wide range of fibre types
Design
- Loose tubes: tubes of stainless steel, filled with a water-blocking compound, and containing up to 48 or 96 optical fibers.
- Cable core:
- For low fibre counts (up to 96): central steel tube with polyethylene sheath
- For fibre counts up to 384: up to 8 steel tubes stranded together, water-blocking filling compound, polyethylene inner sheath
- Strength member: one or two layers of steel wires over the cable cable core
- Outer sheath: polyethylene
Identification
- Outer sheath marking: cable identification and metric embossed each meter interval on the outer sheath.
- Identification of the loose tubes: the steel wires are coated with coloured PE indicating the tube counting sequence (red towards blue). Tube 1 lies between the red and the blue marker.
