LTM Standard
Outdoor Cables
LTM Standard Outdoor Cables are based on the industry standard design known best for
protection against moisture and temperature fluctuations. These cables are used for
interbuilding installations in ducts or conduits or are lashed aerially. Loose tube cables
are designed to withstand adverse environments and provide very low attenuation. They
are cost effective, long-term solutions for many outdoor applications.
Features and Benefits
Loose tube, gel-filled
construction
UV and moisture resistant
design
Extremely low attenuation
Color coded fibers and tubes for
easy identification
Available with up to 216 fibers
Applications
· Interbuilding backbone
· Requirements for high fiber
counts
· Most duct, conduit and lashed
applications

ORDERING INFORMATION
All BICC General cables, unless customized, follow the industry standard color code system for easy identification. 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 tubesTube 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
colorblue/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.
