Cables Loose Tube

Loose tube cables are designed for harsh environment conditions in the outdoors.

Cables loose tube.

Loose tube cables hexatronic s loose tube cables provide superior mechanical protection easy handling and reliable performance. Loose tube cables whether flooded under the jacket or water blocked with dry swellable materials protect the fibers from moisture and the long term degradation moisture can cause. Cables that are on the outside are continuously stressed by a plurality of environmental conditions that could affect their integrity and performance. Loose tube cables loose tube cables the older of the two cable types are specifically designed for harsh outdoor environments.

Since the tube does not have direct contact with the fiber any cable material expansion or contraction will not cause stress on the fiber. Many loose tube cables contain a water resistant gelsurrounding the fibers. Fiber loose tube cable belden s loose tube cables are ideal for both outdoor indoor outdoor applications including use in conduit direct burial lashed aerial trunking. They protect the fibercore cladding and coatingby enclosing everything within fairly rigid protective sleeves or tubes.

Loose tube fiber this type of cable is designed for the outdoors. In loose tube cables the coated fiber floats within a rugged abrasion resistant oversized tube which is filled with optical gel. Loose tube cables whether flooded under the jacket or water blocked with dry swellable materials protect the fibers from moisture and the long term degradation moisture can cause. They protect the fiber core cladding and coating by enclosing everything within semi rigid protective sleeves or tubes.

The gel within the loose tube construction stops the penetration of water and keeps it away from the fiber. All cables have steel wire armoring in one or several layers and or stainless steel tube to provide the highest protection and water blocking properties. The gel within the loose tube construction stops the penetration of water and keeps it away from the fiber.
