Premium Line 12-Core Outdoor Steel Armoured Single-Mode Fiber Optic Cable 9/125µm PE

Product Overview

The Premium Line 12-Core Outdoor Steel Armoured Fiber Optic Cable is designed for reliable optical data transmission in outdoor telecommunications, enterprise, campus, surveillance and structured fiber network installations.

The cable contains 12 single-mode 9/125µm optical fibers, providing multiple fiber connections within one cable for network backbone links, building-to-building connectivity, telecommunications infrastructure and future network expansion.

The 250µm optical fibers are positioned inside a loose tube manufactured from high-modulus plastic. The loose tube is filled with a water-resistant filling compound to provide additional protection against moisture and environmental exposure.

The tube is wrapped with a layer of corrugated steel tape. Water-blocking material is applied between the corrugated steel tape and loose tube to keep the cable compact and watertight.

Two parallel steel wires are positioned on both sides of the corrugated steel tape. These steel-wire strength members provide additional tensile strength and help protect the optical fibers against pulling forces during installation.

The cable is completed with a durable polyethylene outer sheath suitable for outdoor installations. It can be installed through direct burial, aerial routes or underground ducts, depending on project requirements.

This cable is supplied and priced per meter, allowing customers and installers to order the required cable length according to the project route and installation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 12-core fiber optic cable mean?

A 12-core fiber optic cable contains 12 individual optical fibers within one cable. These fibers can support multiple network links, communication services, equipment connections or future network expansion.

Is this cable single-mode or multimode?

Part number 267123012 is a single-mode fiber optic cable with a 9/125µm fiber specification. It is suitable for high-bandwidth and long-distance optical connections.

What is the purpose of the loose tube?

The loose tube houses and protects the optical fibers. It allows the fibers to move slightly within the tube, helping reduce the effects of mechanical stress, temperature changes and pulling forces.

Why is the loose tube filled with a water-resistant compound?

The filling compound helps prevent water from entering and moving through the cable. It also provides additional protection to the optical fibers against moisture and environmental exposure.

What is the purpose of the corrugated steel tape?

The corrugated steel tape provides mechanical protection against crushing, compression, impact and external damage. It also improves moisture resistance.

Why are two parallel steel wires included?

The two parallel steel wires provide additional tensile strength and help protect the optical fibers against excessive pulling forces during cable installation.

Is this cable suitable for direct burial?

Yes. The cable is suitable for direct-buried, aerial and underground duct installations, subject to the installation requirements and applicable project standards.

What is the benefit of the PE outer jacket?

The polyethylene outer jacket provides durable protection against moisture, abrasion and general environmental exposure, making it suitable for outdoor cable installations.

What is the maximum attenuation of the single-mode fiber?

The maximum attenuation is ≤0.36 dB/km at 1310nm and ≤0.22 dB/km at 1550nm.

How is this fiber optic cable supplied?

The cable is supplied and priced per meter. Standard factory drum length is 2000 meters ±1%, while customers can order the required quantity according to their project requirements.
