Light-LINKS OM3 Unitube Armored Fiber Cable
DINTEK Light-LINKS™ Corrugated Steel Armoured Uni-tube cable is designed to provide superior strength and robustness in demanding applications like industrial plant, mining or those areas where the cable may be exposed to physical damage. CSTA also supplies superior rodent resistance. It can be directly buried, ploughed or installed in conducts and ducts or installed on trays.
Optical fibers are contained in a loose tube and strengthened with a corrugated Steel Tape Armour with a bonded polyethylene outer sheath.
