Tight Buffer Fiber-Optic Cables
Features




2 to 12 Tight buffered fibers
Each fiber is enclosed in a 0.9mm tight buffer made of a thermoplastic polymer
The tight buffers are color coded for easy identification
Water swelling glass yarns are employed with the fibers to serve as peripheral
strength members and to block the cable core from water penetration
UV resistant, Low Smoke, Zero Halogen (LSZH) compound outer jacket is extruded
over the cable core

Description


Each fiber is enclosed in a 0.9mm tight buffer made of a thermoplastic polymer. Water
swelling glass yarns are used with fibers to strengthen and block cable core from water
penetration. Cable core is covered by a Low Smoke, Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket.

1. For other fiber specification and additional details, consult RiTs sales
department.
2. As per ISO/IEC 11801:2002 or EN 50173.
3. Overfill launch measurement as per TIA-455-204
4. Effective Modal Bandwidth as per IEC 60793-2.10
5. Per IEEE 802.3z, assuming the requirements of the standard and associated
documents are met.
6. Per IEEE 802.3ae, assuming the requirements of the standard and associated
documents are met.
7. Calculated using the 10GbE link model
8. This link length is assured provided that:
a. It is installed per the maximum channel insertion loss requirement of 2.6dB
as outlined in the TIA 568 B.3-1, ISO 11801 2nd Ed, and IEEE 802.3ae. The
maximum channel insertion loss requirement of 2.6 dB assumes a maximum
connection loss of 1.5 dB and a maximum cable attenuation of 3.5 dB/km at
850nm.
b. It is used with an IEEE 802.3ae compliant 10GBASE-SR or 10GBASE-SW
ports meeting the specifications, among other, for encircled flux as defined
in Table 52.7 in IEEE 802.3ae.
