Indoor/Outdoor Special Applications Tube Cables
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 release 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.
