Unmatched Durability and Performance: Blackstone Loose Tube STA Fiber Cable

When it comes to building a reliable, high-performance network infrastructure, choosing the right fiber optic cable is crucial. Blackstone’s Loose Tube STA Fiber Cable delivers industry-leading durability, flexibility, and performance, ensuring your network runs smoothly even in the harshest environments. Our cable is designed specifically for outdoor use, offering robust protection against environmental factors while maintaining excellent signal integrity.

Key Features of Blackstone Loose Tube STA Fiber Cable

1. Wide Range of Options
Blackstone's Loose Tube STA Fiber Cable is available with up to 48 fibers, in both multimode (OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4) and single-mode (G.657A1, G.655CD) variations, making it highly versatile. Whether your application requires multimode fibers for short-distance high-speed data or single-mode fibers for long-distance communication, Blackstone has you covered.

2. Advanced Cable Construction
This cable's multi-loose tube construction includes up to 72 optical fibers in 12 gel-filled loose tubes, ensuring maximum protection for each fiber. The tubes are SZ-stranded around a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) central strength member, further supported by water-swellable threads and tape. The corrugated steel tape armor (CST) and black polyethylene (PE) jacket provide additional mechanical protection, ensuring the cable remains intact, even in challenging environments.

3. Excellent Mechanical Protection

The Steel Tape Armor (STA) design, combined with the two parallel steel wires embedded in the PE/LSZH outer jacket, delivers exceptional crush resistance and tensile strength. This makes the cable highly resistant to rodent damage and ideal for external duct installations in harsh environments.

4. Flame Retardant and Environmental Protection
With an optional LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, the cable offers enhanced fire performance, making it suitable for use in areas where fire safety is a concern. The standard PE jacket provides outstanding environmental protection, safeguarding the cable from water permeation and harsh outdoor conditions.

5. Superior Signal Integrity

 Thanks to the color-coded fibers, identifying and organizing the cables during installation is straightforward, making the setup process efficient. The special tube-filling compound within the loose tubes ensures the fiber cores are protected from moisture, further preserving signal quality over time.
