The 24FO (4x6) Direct Burial Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable MM OM2 Rodent Protection (Part number: EE4911700002400NP) from Cablescom with 24FO and Anti Rodent construction . Direct buried cable is optimised for injection into ducts in optical networks and is usually directly buried or installed in ducts by air-blowing, jetted, pulled or pushed into the duct.
The 24FO (4x6) Direct Burial Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable OM2 Rodent Protection LSZH from Cablescom is a Direct Buried cable with 24 fibers within 4 loose tubes. This totally dielectric distribution cable for optical networks has a double LSZH thermoplastic sheath, reinforced with fiberglass yarns, allowing it to be rodent retardant. Water-blocking yarns and/or tapes prevent the progression of water inside the cable. These cables have very good behavior against fire. The optical fibers comply with TIA recommendations OM2.
For indoor or outdoor use; This cable can be installed in underground ducts, directly buried or over cable channels, galleries and trays. For electric networks, use in medium or long distance telecommunications networks.
OM2 (Optical Multimode 2) is a type of multimode fiber defined by the G.651.1 standard. It has a core diameter of 50 microns and is designed for higher-bandwidth applications than OM1, supporting up to 10 Gbps over distances of up to 90 meters. OM2 is commonly used for data center applications and LANs, but is being replaced by higher-grade fibers for longer-range transmissions.
While using a loose tube construction in cables, you can:
The loose tube construction solution can be chosen for the following applications:
Anti-Rodent is a type of fiber optic cable protection designed to prevent damage from rodents such as rats, mice, and squirrels. This protection is achieved by applying a special coating or tape to the cable, making it difficult for rodents to chew through the cable and cause damage. Anti-rodent protection is particularly important in outdoor and underground installations where rodents are common, and can help to prevent costly and time-consuming repairs.
LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) is a jacket material that is designed to limit the release of smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire. It is made without halogens, which makes it environmentally friendly and safe for human health. LSZH is highly resistant to moisture and chemicals, making it suitable for harsh environments. It is commonly used in public buildings, transportation systems, and other areas where safety is a primary concern. However, LSZH may be more expensive than other materials, and it may have a lower temperature rating, which may limit its use in certain applications.
Multi mode fiber uses a LED or a VCSEL light source, is a type of optical fiber with a big core diameter that allows several rays of light to propagate. It is used in telecommunications and data transmission systems to transmit signals over small distances with high or medium attenuation and bandwidth to 10Gb/s. Multi mode fiber is ideal for medium-speed and small-distance applications, such as networks backbone and fiber to the desk in an enterprise network. Its large core provoques the dispersion of light, preventing signals to travel further and faster than with singlemode fiber.
