ProLink Single ARMOR Central Loose Tube Fiber Cable — 48‑Core OS2 (9/125 µm), OD 10 mm
The ProLink 48‑Core Central Loose Tube Fiber Cable (OS2, 9/125 µm) is a 48‑strand armored single‑mode outdoor fiber optic cable with a 10 mm outer diameter, central loose tube construction, steel reinforcement, and HDPE jacket — ideal for telecom, campus, and long‑haul network backbones.
Description
ProLink 48‑Core OS2 Single Armor Central Loose Tube Fiber Cable — 9/125 µm, 10 mm Armored Outdoor Cable
Key Features:
48‑Core Single‑Mode (OS2, 9/125 µm) — Supports high‑density, low‑loss transmission for long‑distance optical networks.
Central Loose Tube Design — Fiber strands arranged within loose tubes for improved protection and performance.
Single Armor with Steel Reinforcement — Phosphating steel wire (1.0 mm) provides mechanical strength for outdoor deployment.
Outer Diameter About 10 mm — Compact yet rugged construction with HDPE outer jacket for environmental resilience.
Color‑Coded Fiber Coating — Each of the 48 optical fibers has a distinct polymer coating color for ease of identification during termination and splicing.
Loose Tube Material: PBT for protection and flexibility.
Black HDPE Jacket with Yellow Line — Standard outdoor cable sheath for UV resistance and mechanical protection.
