Corning 12 to 288 Fiber Single and Multimode LSZH Loose Tube Gel-Free Interlocking Armored Cable

Product Details

Corning LSZH™ loose tube gel-free cables are flame-retardant, indoor/outdoor, suitable for installation in interbuilding and intrabuilding applications. The loose tube design offers mechanical ruggedness and environmental durability while the all-dielectric cable construction requires no grounding or bonding. The water-swellable yarn eliminates the need for gel-filling compound and allows more efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation. The 250 μm color-coded fibers allow quick and easy identification during installation

Corning LSZH™ cables eliminate risks in the event of a fire as the LSZH compound does not drip when superheated. The material burns to ash, eliminating the onset of secondary fires. When cables containing halogens ignite, they emit highly reactive gases that can be harmful if inhaled. When halogens combine with water, acids are formed. These acids damage both living tissue and inorganic materials, such as metal and electronic equipment. The flexible, flame-retardant outer jacket is UV-resistant and enables direct exposure to sunlight. Interlocking armor is available for special applications requiring additional mechanical durability

Note: This cable is available in 12 different jacket colors – blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white, red, black, yellow, violet, rose and aqua. The colored jacket allows for easy visual identification of the cables while still providing all of the required environmental protection of an indoor/outdoor cable jacket. Black is the standard jacket color using the part numbers shown here.
