Actual finished product may vary from illustration. 72 Fibre High Strength Stranded Loose Tube Cable with Sacrificial Sheath Stranded cable comprising up to 72 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), termite resistant Nylon jacket forming a conventional HS1 cable with an additional UV stable sacrificial PE outer sheath. Surface printing includes length marking at one metre intervals.
