Industrial Fiber Optic Cables LSZH Single-jacket, 12-288 Fibers

Corning Cable Systems LSZH Industrial Fiber Optic Cables are designed for industrial building
backbones and harsh environments atypical of traditional datacom systems. Based on the proven
stranded loose tube cable designs, these industrial cables are flame retardant and have been tested
to meet mechanical/environmental conditions exceeding the requirements set for traditional
datacom cables. They have also demonstrated superior performance levels when tested to specified
"tray" application requirements for compressive loading, cyclic impact and chemical resistance. The
250 μm color-coded individual fibers offer quick and easy identification during installation, with
50 μm, 62.5 μm and single-mode versions available.
　

A key life-safety benefit of the Corning Cable Systems Industrial Cables is the low smoke zero halogen
(LSZH) sheath. PVC cables commonly used in harsh environments contain halogens, namely chlorine,
in the jacket compound. When these cables combust, they give off fumes containing highly reactive halogens that combine with water to form highly overactive acids. These acids
damage both living tissue and inorganic materials like metal and electronic equipment. As such, these gases can be deadly if breathed by humans. Corning Cable Systems LSZH
Industrial Cables eliminate that risk in the event of fire. In addition, the LSZH compound does not drip when superheated. The LSZH material burns to ash, eliminating the onset of
secondary fires commonly caused by MDPE and PVC cables.
