Norden Single Sheath Armoured Ribbon Optical Fibre Cable is engineered for underground duct, direct buried or aerial installation applications, incorporating a non-metallic, anti-buckling FRP rod as the central strength member for enhanced structural stability. It features loose buffer tubes filled with Thixotropic Jelly to safeguard the ribbon fibres, while the S-Z stranded core, wrapped with water-swellable tape, provides excellent moisture resistance. Additional reinforcement comes from a peripheral strength member made of glass yarn and corrugated ECCS tape, while the UV-stabilized HDPE outer sheath ensures durability in demanding environments. A rip cord enables easy sheath removal, and the flexible buffer tubes simplify fiber routing within closures. The cable is designed for superior mechanical protection, offering resistance to rodents, termites, salinity, and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability in underground network installations.
