Corning Cable Systems Dielectric, Low-Temperature,
Tray-Rated, Mining and Petrochemical Fiber Optic
Cables are designed for indoor and outdoor use in mining
and petrochemical backbones (aerial and duct) and hori-
zontal intrabuilding and tunnel backbones where limited-
smoke and zero-halogen requirements exist.
Available in 12 different jacket colors that enables easy
visual identification and segregation of cables while still
providing all the required environmental protection of an
indoor/outdoor cable jacket.
The SZ-stranded, loose tube design isolates fibers from
installation and environmental rigors and allows for easy
midspan access. The design also provides high-fiber
density within a given cable diameter, allowing flexibility
to suit many system designs.
The specially formulated black, UV-resistant, flame-
retardant LSZH inner and outer jacket complies with
IEEE-383 flame test. These extra-tough double jackets
resist hazards found in mines and petrochemical com-
plexes, making this cable ideal for any harsh environment
requiring a more robust cable and suitable for direct buri-
al applications. All-dielectric construction provides tensile
strength and eliminates grounding concerns.
