PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Heavy Duty OSP MicroCore® (LMHD-Series) is small-diameter loose tube fiber optic cable with a 600lb load-rating. The design consists of SZ-stranded gel-filled buffer tubes, aramid and fiberglass strength elements, and a thick-walled, UV-resistant outer jacket. These cables can be jetted or pulled into standard HDPE ducts and, because of their small diameters, can be jetted into bundled microduct pathways. Minimum pathway inside diameters range from 13 mm to 20 mm, varied by the cable fiber count. When the application requires a transition from underground to aerial, the LMHD-Series cables can be lashed to aerial messenger wires using standard OSP cable lashing equipment and techniques.
