Page 1 of 2 LTF Armored Cables LTF Armored Cables are outdoor cables with corrugated steel armor between two jackets. These provide protection in direct buried or aerial applications in severe environments. The armor provides protection from rodent attacks and the loose tube, gel-filled core provides excellent environmental protection. Features and Benefits Loose tube, gel-filled construction Rodent-proof design Suitable for direct buried applications Color coded fibers and tubes for easy identification Available with up to 144 fibers Applications * Interbuilding backbone * Direct buried applications * Heavy traffic, severe installation environments ORDERING INFORMATION Fiber Optic Center, Inc., 23 Centre Street, New Bedford, MA, 02740-6322, USA Website: www.focenter.com e-mail: sales@focenter.com, Toll Free: (800) IS-FIBER, (800) 473-4237, Tel: (508) 992-6464, Fax: (508) 991-8876 Page 2 of 2 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Temperature: -40C (-40F) to 80C (176F) Storag; -40C (-40F) to 80C (176F) In-Servi ce C entral Strength Member: Epoxy/glass rod C able C ore: Gel-Fi lled Loose Tubes Outer Strength Member: Arami d fi ber yarn Inner Jacket: PVC Armor: .006" thi ck corrugated steel tape wi th ri pcord under armor Outer Jacket: Black UV and moi sture resi stant polyethylene Maxi mum Tensi le Load: Installati on 600 Lbsf (2670 N) In-Servi ce 135 Lbsf (600 N) Maxi mum C rush Resi stance: 500 Lbsf/i n (675 N/cm) ORDERING INFORMATION Cable Part Numbering System 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Jacket Type: A) Polyethlene B) PVC (General Purpose) C) Polyurethane D) Plenum E) CPE F) Single Armor/PE G) Single Armor/PVC K) Jet Fuel Resistant L) Single Armor (Zero Hal.)

Cables with 12 or fewer individual components will follow the color sequence: Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate White, Red, Black, Yellow, Violet, Pink, Aqua. For cables having more than 12 fibers, grouping is done following the same sequence for the subgroup and for the fibers within it. Example: 24 fiber loose tube cable with six fibers in each of four tubesTube colors will be blue, orange, green and brown. Each tube will have one each of fibers in the first six colors (blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white). Fibers are then identified by tube color/fiber colorblue/white being the white fiber in the blue tube. When cables have more than 144 fibers, a black stripe is added to each of the first six colors in order to make 18 recognizable subgroups. In some cable designs, jacketed subgroups may be numbered for identification in lieu of color coding.
