Corning 024TUZ-T4180DAN | Industrial LSZH Tray-Rated, Loose Tube, Interlocking Armored Cable 24 F, 50 µm Multimode

Corning industrial LSZH™ fiber optic cables are designed for industrial building backbones and harsh environments. Based on proven stranded loose tube cable designs, these tray-rated industrial cables are flame-retardant and tested to exceed the mechanical/environmental requirements for traditional datacom cables. They have also demonstrated superior performance levels when tested to specified “tray” application requirements for compressive loading, cyclic impact, and chemical resistance. The 250 ?m color-coded individual fibers offer easy identification during installation.

LSZH cables often preferred for industrial applications, due to the safety benefits they provide. Many traditional data communication cables contain halogens in the jacket compound, which pose little risk in the controlled and protected environment of typical building air spaces, such as behind walls, under floors, and in a conduit. However, cables deployed in industrial applications, particularly on the plant floor, are typically exposed to greater risk of fire, extreme temperatures, or chemical exposure – making halogen cables inappropriate. When cables containing halogens ignite, they emit highly reactive gases that can be harmful if inhaled. When halogens combine with water, acids are formed. These acids damage both living tissue and inorganic materials, such as metal and electronic equipment.
