AFLglobal.com | 800.235.3423 1 Fiber Optic Cable Fiber Optic Cable Applications • Oil and Gas fields • Low Temperature Environments • Refineries • Mining • Mass Transit Features • 12 to 144 fibers • Gel-filled and gel-free buffer tubes available • 2x Crush Resistance compared to standard fiber optic cables • 2x Cold Impact Resistance compared to standard fiber optic cables • Self-supporting capability (contact AFL for more information) continued Extreme Low Temp LSZH Double Jacket I/O Loose Tube (LA Series) The LA-Series is specially designed for applications that demand reliable performance in harsh environment installations. The cable construction incorporates a variety of packaging technologies that allow for operation in extremely low temperatures, mechanically abusive installations, and highly caustic and acidic environments. The cable core is constructed using materials and engineered geometry that optimizes the isolation of the optical fibers from the stresses and strains imparted on the cable in extreme environments. The outer jacketing is designed to further protect the ruggedized core assembly with a multiplying system made up of a double-ply, low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) flame resistant jacketing system that integrates a layer of aramid yarn between the inner and outer sheaths.
