MTP ® Outdoor Cable Assemblies Features • Fully pre-terminated multi-fibre plug & play operation improves speed or network deployment • Pigtail option for splicing into high core-count backbones • A range of compact loose tube and tactical cable designs to allow ease of installation Applications • Infrastructure, Telecommunication outside plant • Industrial, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) networks • Lead-in and drop cable customer connections • Campus Interconnect • External cabinet connectivity feed-in AFL MTP ® Outdoor Cables offer a low loss plug and play solution for external applications. These 12F to 288F pre-terminated cable assemblies are designed to meet the increasing demands of high bandwidth applications in outside plant environments while minimising network build times. Cable Options For MTP ® Outdoor Cable Assemblies, AFL have carefully selected several cables that will meet the criteria of most outdoor installation environments. Other cable options are available upon request. RMU – LQD Mini Axial Loose Tube Cable Axial loose tube cable comprising of 12 optical fibres contained in a jelly-filled loose tube strengthened with flexible non-metallic elements bonded to a polyethylene (PE) sheath and an outer UV stable, termite resistant Nylon jacket. Termite Resistant Nylon Jacket Polyethylene Sheath Flexible Non-metallic Strength Element Moisture Resistant Jelly-Filled Loose Tube Optical Fibre RUA – RLD Axial Non-Metallic Flat FRP Loose Tube Engineered to withstand high tensile and crush loads, the Non-metallic Flat FRP Armoured Cable integrates 12 fibres in a jelly-filled axial loose tube construction. Key to the high strength design is the use of 6 x Flat FRP strength elements providing enhanced tensile and crush performance characteristics. Coupled with the Flat FRP Armour against rodent attack, the Nylon jacket provides an insect (termite) resistant layer, strategically positioned to ensure longevity. The cable is then sheathed with an outer UV stabilized Polyethylene compound. Outer Polyethylene Sheath Flat FRP Rod Armour Termite Resistant Nylon Jacket Inner Polyethylene Sheath Flexible Non-metallic Strength Element Moisture Resistant Jelly-Filled Loose Tube Optical Fibre 12F RLD Non-Metallic Flat FRP Loose Tube Cable - Cross Section 12F LQD Mini Axial Loose Tube Cable - Cross Section MTP is a registered trademark of US Conec, Ltd. 12F RMU Cable Assembly 144F LTS Cable Assembly Australia: 1300 232 476 New Zealand: 09 927 7140 www.AFLglobal.com MTP Cabling System 2 © 2002-2025, AFL, all rights reserved. 2385, Revision 01, 10.12.25 Specifications are subject to change without notice. MTP ® Outdoor Cable Assemblies TAC – Tactical Micro Cable AFL Tactical Micro Cable is ideal for use in installations where extreme environmental conditions are present. Designed for indoor / outdoor applications, AFL Tactical Micro Cable is flame retardant and suitable for direct MTP termination. LTS – LMD Stranded Loose Tube Stranded cable comprising of up to 288 optical fibres contained in jelly-filled loose tubes (up to 12 fibres per tube). The tubes and fillers are laid around a central strength member and contained within a dry, water blocked cable core, sheathed with Polyethylene (PE) and UV stable, termite resistant nylon jacket. Further processing to Stranded cables can add either an additional UV stable, sacrificial PE outer sheath for installation through torturous paths, as well as Non-Metallic Armouring (NMA) + sacrificial sheath for added rodent resistance, robustness and tensile strength.
