CONSTRUCTION
Micromodule: : the fibers are grouped in a micro-structure (group of fibers inside
of a thin-walled tube) of 6 or 12 fibers with filling compound inside and a maximum
diameter of 1.4 mm. The identification of the fibers and the micromodule is
effected by means of colors in accordance with Tables 1 and 2.
Core: The micromodules are grouped inside without any central reinforcing
element.
Water blocking elements: Sweallable yarns and tapes to avoid water penetration
and make the cable waterproof.
Inner sheath: Polyethylene with a rip cord.
Reinforcing elements: Aramid Yarns or fiberglass
Armour: longitudinal corrugated steel copolymer tape with overlap.
Outer sheath: High density PE (HDPE) UV resistant with a rip cord and three green
bands. .
Sheath marking : The cable sheath will be marked with white ink at regular
intervals with the following information:
o Manufacture year / CABLESCOM)/ cable identification / owner + length markings
o Other sheath marks available upon request
