Indoor/Outdoor LSZH Special Applications Tube Cables
Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s FutureFLEX® Indoor/Outdoor LSZH Special Application Tube Cables are designed for use as an optical fiber cabling infrastructure in Air-Blown Fiber® applications which meets NFPA 130 (Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems) and low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) requirements. These requirements include FT-4-ST-1/IEEE 1202 exposure requirements for char height, total smoke released, and peak smoke released rate of ANSI/UL 1685.
These tube cables may also be used in indoor applications where (1) Optical Fiber Non-conductive/Conductive Riser-rated (OFNR/OFCR or FT4-ST-1) apply, or (2) no fire ratings apply.
The MTIO series are pulled or placed in indoor/outdoor routes for the purpose of individual tube interconnection to establish pathways for FutureFLEX® fiber bundle installation.
