Outdoor/Indoor Special Application Tube Cables

Tube Cable for Outdoor/Indoor - Special Applications

FutureFLEX® Mass Transit Tube Cables are designed for use as an optical fiber cabling infrastructure in Air Blown Fiber applications which meet NFPA 130 (Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems) and low smoke halogen free requirements. These requirements include FT4-ST-1/IEEE 1202 exposure requirements for char height, total smoke released, and peak smoke released rate of ANSI/UL 1685. Mass Transit Unarmored/Armored Tube Cables may also be used in indoor applications where (1) Optical Fiber Nonconductive/Conductive Riser-rated (OFNR/OFCR or FT4-ST-1) apply, or (2) no fire ratings apply. Mass Transit Tube Cables are pulled or placed in indoor/outdoor routes for the purpose of individual tube interconnection to establish pathways for FutureFLEX® fiber bundle installation.
