DConnect’s optic fibre cable features a loose central tube design with a single-mode G.625D fibres. The fibres are protected by a mica fibre barrier, corrugated steel tape armour, and a halogen-free, flame-retardant LSZH-UV outer sheath.
Since mica is non-combustible and thermally stable up to 1000°C, it forms a heat barrier that prevents fire from damaging the optical fibres. The construction also includes water-blocking elements and glass yarn strength members to provide high durability in harsh environments.
As a fire-resistant fibre optic cable with a central loose tube supplier in Ghana, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Kenya, DRC, this cable serves as an essential component in critical communication infrastructure that needs reliability in extreme conditions, like fire.
Features
- Fire resistance: Maintains circuit integrity during fire to keep emergency systems running.
- Mica tape insulation: With a high thermal stability, it forms a heat barrier that protects optical fibres.
- Central loose tube design: Gel-filled tube shields fibres from bending, pulling, and crushing stresses.
- Metallic armour: Corrugated steel tape safeguards the core from impact, compression, and rodent attacks.
- LSZH-UV outer sheath: Halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket reduces toxic smoke and resists UV degradation.
- Compliance assured: Certified to ISO 9001 and IEC 60331-25 for quality and fire performance.
- High-reliability fibres: Manufactured using pure silica and germanium-doped silica fibres with UV-curable acrylate primary coating.
