Flame Retardant Fiber Optic Cables
Flame Retardant Tight Buffered Distribution Fiber Optic cables
MTA-B-C-D-H
Application
This cables are used for interconnection of distribution boxes and end devices, where continued functionality is
required during a fire situation. The cables are very suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications,
including routing between buildings within ducts and inside building up to riser shafts.
Standards
Basic design to Telcordia GR409-CORE / TIA/EIA 568B.3 / ICEA-S-83-596

Cable Construction
Optical fibers: Singlemode and multimode tight fibers, with tight buffer coating.
Reinforcement: Either aramid yarn or fiber glass is wound around the tube to provide physical protection and
tensile strength, with added fire protection.
Inner Sheath(optional): Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1
Ripcord(optional): An optional ripcord can be located under the outer sheath to facilitate jacket removal.
Armouring(optional):
STA: Corrugated steel tape armour
SWB: Steel wire braid
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting LSZH compound
type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered.)
Physical And Thermal Properties
Temperature range during operation (fixed state): -20°C - +60°C
Temperature range during installation (mobile state): 0°C - +50°C
Minimum bending radius: 10 times the outer diameter for unarmoured cables 20 times the outer diameter for
armoured cables
