LMNWG
Steel Wire Armoured ALPA™ Optical Cable
Features
- Central Strength Member(CSM): glass fiber reainforced plastic rod(FRP),with plastic overheating when needed.
- Loose Tube: The secondary coating consists of a loose tube made of thermoplastics polyester. Each fiber in a tube is uniquely identified by a different colour.
- Filler Elements:thermoplastic rods,where needed.
- Stranding:Loose tubes(and fillers), SZ Stranded around the CSM.
- Cable core: the cable core is covered with water blocking swellable tape.
- Aramid yarns:are applied to give extra tensile performance.
- Moisture Barrier:The cable is completely covered with aluminum foil applied longitudinally with an overlap. The aluminum foil is bonded to the inner sheath.
- 1st inner sheath: The 1st inner sheath consists of HDPE
- 2nd inner sheath: The 2nd inner sheath consists of PA
- Armour:The armour consists of one layer of galvanized steel wire(SWA) with a counter spiral binder.
- Outer sheath:Flame Retardant low Smoke, Zero Halogen compound. This compound is UV, Heat & Oil resistant.

Application
- The cable is especially designed for harsh environments.The multi - layer inner sheath system ALPA: Aluminium/HDPE/PA(nylon) withstands aggressive constituents and fluids that might occur on(petro) chemical plants. (chemical moisture - barrier). The steel wire armour and FR LSZH sheath make the cable suitable for installation under and above ground. - The ALPA design provides anti-termite protection. -The Steel Wire Armour provides rodent protection.
Fire Rating
- IEC 60332-1 IEC 60332 - 3 - 22
