Product Information
12F SM (G657A1) Armored Lite Multitube Gel Free Single Sheath OFC-BABA (Sold in 20,000 ft. reels)
STL ARMOR-LITE Gel Free Multitube Single Jacket Steel Tape Armored Cables are suitable for direct burial as well as for duct applications. ARMOR-LITE comes with gel free technology, the buffer tubes contain water swellable yarns and the cable core is surrounded with water-swellable tape to prevent water ingress in the cable. The buffer tubes are stranded around the central strength member using reverse oscillation stranding method forming the cable core. A Corrugated Steel Tape armor surrounds the cable core with a thermoplastic jacket placed over the armor layer making the cable robust and installation friendly. (Sold in 20,000 ft. reels)
Features:
- PE outer jacket & Steel tape armor provide rodent protection along with improved crush and impact protection
- The Steel tape enables post installation cable locating
- Dry water-blocking technology for gel free core helps in quicker end preparation
- Easily removable rugged thermoplastic jacket with steel tape
- Flexible, light weight, easy to handle & install
