APPLICATION
The cable is specially designed for harsh
environments. The internationally known
multilayer inner sheath ALPA® construction:
Aluminium/HDPE/PA (nylon) withstands
aggressive constituents and fluids, providing
huge benefits for installing Fiber optic in OGP
environments.
Armoured ALPA® Optical Cable
Indoor and outdoor, flame retardant, LSZH or PVC, loose tube, Armored SWA (Steel
wires Armor), SWB (Steel wires Braid) or CST (Coarrugated Steel Tape).
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
CENTRAL STRENGTH MEMBER

FIBER
Multimode or singlemode fibers colored
per TIA/EIA 598
Fibers are protected in gel-filled loose
tubes stranded around a central strength
member to ensure optimum performance
and long life
SUBUNIT STRENGTH MEMBER
Aramid yarn, waterblocking elements (dry core)
MOISTURE BARRIER
Aluminium copolymer tape longitudinally
folded
SUBUNIT JACKET
Inner sheath HPDE jacket
JACKET
Polyamide jacket
ARMOR
Armored SWA (Steel wires Armour), SWB
(Steel wires Braid) or CST (Corrugated
Steel Tape)
SHEATH
Afumex® Low smoke, zero halogen,
Flame Retardant and Heat & Oil and UV
Resistant. Or PVC flame retardant, and
