12 Fibers Singlemode 9/125 OS2, LSZH, Non-Armored, Glass Yarn Strength Member, Tight-Buffered Indoor/Outdoor Cable
Tight buffered indoor/outdoor cables are constructed of 900μm buffered fibres surrounded by glass yarn strength members with a flame-retardant LSZH jacket. Tight-buffered cable design typically provides smaller package and simple installation. The strength member is made of non-metallic and water blocking glass yarn to act as strain relief element for the fibers. It is widely used in local area networks and fiber backbones, suitable for installation in trunking, under floor or ceiling spaces.

Ideal Solution for Non-Armored Tight-Buffered Indoor/Outdoor Cable
Indoor and outdoor cable can simplify fiber networks by eliminating transitions and splice points at building entrances. The tight-buffered construction provides easier termination in the local area network (LAN) and eliminates need for fan-out kits, which is suitable for interbuilding and intrabuilding backbones in duct and riser applications.
