Tight Buffer PVC/LSZH Jacketed Simplex/Duplex Cord
Application
This cable is mainly used for interconnecting cable for jumpers, patch cords or pigtails.
Description
Simplex
Simplex cable consists of single tight buffered fiber with aramid yarns as tensile strength members with jacket of either Flame Retardant PVC or LSZH compound. The cable is unconnectorized.
Duplex Flat
Duplex Flat Cable consists of two simplex units. Two simplex cords are placed side by side and jacketed with either Flame Retardant PVC or LSZH compound. The cable is unconnectorized.
Duplex Round
Duplex Round Cable consists of two single fibers, each with a color-coded PVC tight buffer. They are reinforced with aramid yarn to provide physical and tensile strength. The fibers are jacketed with either Flame Retardant PVC or LSZH compound. The cable is unconnectorized.
Duplex Zip
Duplex Zipcord Cable consists of two single fibers, each with a color-coded PVC tight buffer. They are reinforced with aramid yarn to provide physical and tensile strength. The fibers have either Flame Retardant PVC or LSZH compound jackets connected by a web to form a Āzipcordā construction. The cable is unconnectorized.
