AFL launches heavy duty outside plant MicroCore® cable.
AFL has introduced the LMHD-series MicroCore fiber optic cable. Designed for use in standard HDPE ducts, aerial messenger systems, and bundled micro-duct pathways, the LMHD series is a loose tube cable product line with cable diameters up to 50% smaller than traditional loose tube cables and a 600 pound load-rating, making it highly versatile for use in most outside plant cable installations.
The LMHD-series OSP MicroCore cable can be pulled into standard HDPE ducts and, because of its small diameter, can be jetted into popular bundled micro-duct pathways. Minimum pathway inside diameters range from 13 mm to 20 mm. When applications require a transition from underground to aerial, the LMHD-series cables can be lashed to aerial messenger wires using standard outside plant cable lashing equipment and techniques.
