CST Cable 12 Core Armoured Loose Tube Fibre Optic Cable
The Corrugated Steel Tape CST cable is perfect for all installation. CST also provides the fibre cable protection from rodent and crush. Up to 288 cores.
Description
HOC unitube loose tube CST cable is using a corrugated steel tape strength member and water-blocking fiber glass yarn around the central uni-tube of 4-24 core fibre. This kind of reinforcement makes the CST fibre cable excellent performance on crush, tensile resistance, as well as rodent resistant.
Except the cable core protection, the outer sheath can be produced with PE, LSZH or flame-retardant materials for specific applications. Therefore, it is suitable for installation in the most demanding and harsh environments.
All optical fibre and jacket colour for choose and customize, different CST cable structures from 4 fibre, 12 fibre, 24 fibre, 48 fibre to 96 fibre, 144 fibre and 288 fibre.
Application
Duct, Direct burial, Backbone communication cabling
