Outside Plant All Dielectric Berk-Tek’s Outside Plant Loose Tube fiber optic cables are designed for installation in harsh enviroments such as direct burial, aerial lashing, conduit and pathways that are subjected to wide temperature variations. The Outside Plant product line offers 2 - 288 fibers per cable. These cables are thoroughly tested and verified to Telcordia GR-20 and ICEA-640 for outside cabling systems.
Standards
International  EN 50173; ISO/IEC 11801
National  ANSI/ICEA S-87-640; ANSI/TIA-568-C.3; Telcordia GR-20
Description

Berk-Tek's Outdoor Loose Tube cables are available in multimode, single-mode and GIGAlite™ fibers.

 

Construction

Gel-filled tubes containing up to 12, 250 µm, individually colored fibers.

 

Outdoor Consideration

Berk-Tek recommends that loose tube cables be utilized in an outside plant installation environment. Loose tube cables are especially recommended if the interbuilding conduit system is likely to fill with water.

 

Applications

Berk-Tek's Outdoor Loose Tube fiber optic cable is intended for all high speed data applications, including:

  • 10BASE-FL
  • 100BASE-SX/100BASE-FX
  • ATM 155/ATM 622
  • 1000BASE-SX/1000BASE-LX
  • Fibre Channel 1.062/2.125
  • 10GBASE-SR/SW
  • 10GBASE-LX4
  • 40/100 GbE

 

Features 

  • High tensile strength, crush resistant and small diameter design. 
  • Single-mode, multimode and hybrid design options available.  
  • All dielectric design.  
  • Armored designs available.
  • Fully water-blocked core using dry water blocking system. 

 

Benefits

 

  • Provides for greater pulling distances thus reducing installation time.
  • Broad design selection allows for mix and match of fiber components to specific networking applications. 
  • System grounding problems eliminated.  
  • Long-term reliability.
  • Low cable plant maintenance, ease of installation.
  • Reduce network costs.
