Product Details
Prysmian’s popular ExpressLT™ cable combines buffer tubes with enhanced flexibility, a completely dry water-blocking system, and optional ezPREP® armor. The buffer tubes are also rated for mid-span storage applications. This combination of features makes ExpressLT™ an ideal solution for applications requiring frequent sheath access and express tube storage.
Applications: Multi-purpose outdoor, aerial lashed, duct, direct buried (when armored)
Constructions: Dielectric, armored, double armored, dual jacket
Count: 4 to 432 fibers in color-coded buffer tubes
Fiber Types: Single-mode, multimode, bend-insensitive SM, NZDS
Options: Steel central member, 22 or 24 AWG copper pair(s), 16 AWG tonewire, striped Jacket, factory-installed pulling eye
Similar Alternatives: Gel-filled buffer tubes / LT 2.0 / heavy duty / central / indoor-outdoor / indoor / self-support / microduct
Performance: Tested in accordance with TIA 455 series FOTPs for fiber optic cables. Complies with ICEA 640, RUS 7 CFR 1755 (PE90 listed), Telcordia GR-20, and IEC 60794-3-11
Registered Supplier: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, TL 9000, and OHSAS 18001
Features and Benefits:
Easy Cable Entry and Preparation
• Dry water-blocked core speeds cable access
• Dry water-blocked tubes reduce prep time by an average of 15 minutes per cable end
• Available with ezPREP® armor to allow easy access to the core in mid-sheath entries
• Reverse oscillating stranded core facilitates mid-span access of fibers. Tubes can easily be removed from the core
• Ripcord speeds cable entry & outer jacket removal
Available with ezPREP® Armor
• The jacket can be easily separated from the armor without a heat gun or torch
• Armored cable access, bonding and grounding are faster, easier and safer
Flexible Routing and Termination
• Buffer tubes can be stored in FTTx pedestals, closures and cabinets in lengths up to 20'
• 2.5 mm buffer tubes with enhanced flexibility simplify routing and splice preparation
Multi-Purpose Design
• Suitable for aerial lashed, duct, and direct buried installation (when armored)
• Small diameter and light weight, extends reel and installation lengths
• Optional ezPREP® corrugated steel tape armor provides mechanical protection and rodent resistance
