144 core External Underground Loose Tube SMOF Optical Cable, 14mmOD


A 144-core external loose tube single mode optical fibre cable, built on ITU-T G.652.D fibre for underground duct and conduit runs, or aerial lashed installation.

The gel-filled loose tube construction isolates the fibres from cable strain and blocks moisture ingress along the cable. Its all-dielectric, non-metallic build carries no metallic element, so it needs no earthing and is unaffected by lightning strike or induced voltage near power infrastructure.
