12 cores fiber optic cable SM OS2 Specifications And Details

Overview

These tight buffered optical fibre cables have been designed specifically for internal and external applications. The singlemode fibre is G.652.D compliant low water peak grade and offers OS2 performance and OS1 backwards compatibility. These compact, lightweight cables are extremely flexible and are quick and easy to install.

The cables are constructed around swellable reinforced yarns as common strength members containing up to 24 colour coded 900µm tight buffered fibres, covered with a flame retardant, low smoke zero halogen, outer sheath.

The print legend on the cable now includes information regarding the DOP number, Test and Classification of the cable for traceability

Features

1. 12-Core Configuration: This cable features 12 optical fiber cores. Each core is designed to transmit data using OS2 (single-mode) optical fibers, which are optimized for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss.
2. ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) Design: The ADSS design means that the cable does not require a metallic strength member. Instead, it uses a dielectric (non-metallic) central strength member, often made of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP). This makes the cable lightweight and suitable for self-supporting aerial installations, such as along power lines or between poles.
3. Low Water Peak: OS2 optical fibers typically have a low water peak characteristic. This minimizes signal attenuation in the water absorption spectral region, ensuring high performance and reliability, especially in damp or humid conditions.
4. Outdoor Durability: The cable is designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. It is UV-resistant and often has a durable outer sheath that protects it from environmental factors, including sunlight exposure, extreme temperatures, and moisture.
5. Long-Distance Transmission: OS2 optical fibers are optimized for long-distance data transmission, making this cable suitable for applications that require data to be transmitted over extended distances, such as long-haul telecommunications and network backbones.
6. 12-Core Fiber Count: The 12-core configuration offers flexibility for a range of applications. It allows for multiple data channels or redundancy, making it suitable for network expansion and backup purposes.
7. Fiber Tight Buffering: Each optical fiber core is typically enclosed in a tight buffer, providing additional protection against mechanical stresses and reducing the risk of fiber breakage during installation and operation.
8. Anti-Twisting Elements: To prevent twisting and damage during installation, ADSS cables often include anti-twisting elements within the cable structure
