DUCT CABLE 6/48 FO OM3/G.
652D
Cable Design
⚫ Central Strength Member (CSM): Glass fiber
reinforced plastic rod (GFRP), with PE sheath
covering when needed.
⚫ Loose Tube: PBT plastic material, containing 6/12
fibers and filled with a suitable water tightness jelly.
⚫ Filler Elements: PP plastic rods, when needed.
⚫ Stranding: Loose tube & filler SZ stranded around
CSM.
⚫ Longitudinal Water Tightness: Dry core with water
swellable elements.
⚫ Ripcord: 2 polyester ripcords under each sheath.
⚫ Steel Tape: Anti- rodent
⚫ Outer Sheath: Black Flame-retardant PE.
