Fiber Optic Cable 1 Applications • Long-haul, middle-mile and metro-loop • Campus inter-building backbone distribution • Low-cost fiber upgrade migration strategies Features • Build America/Buy America options available • 12 up to 432 250 μm fibers • Low-friction outer jacket designed for air-blown installations • Robust, kink-resistant buffer tubes reduce time and handling issues associated with enclosure build-outs • 300lb installation tensile load rating • OD compatible with 10 mm to 16 mm inside diameter microducts AFL OSP MicroCore® cable series (LM-Series) is designed for outside plant installation in microduct conduit systems. The foundation of the design is the multi-fiber-set, gel-filled buffer tube construction. The kink-resistant buffer tube contains multiple 12-fiber sets of color-coded fibers. Each set within the buffer tube is grouped using dual color-coded binder threads. The dry-blocked core is made up of SZ-stranded buffer tubes around a central strength member. The low-friction, high-strength overall jacketing system protects the cable-core while providing an optimized cable package supporting high-speed, long-distance jetting performance. The unique, high- fiber density geometry yields a cable construction that can accommodate up to 432 fibers and can be blown into microducts ranging in inside diameters from 10 mm to 16 mm.
