Belden Inc. Outdoor (ADSS) OFC MLT: ARAMID + PE with 6 Tubes of Ø2.5mm 48f SM OS2 G.657.A2. GAADF48

The GAADF48 is an outdoor dry core (ADSS) optical fiber cable designed for multi loose tube applications. It features a construction of aramid yarns as strength members and a polyethylene outer jacket, providing all-dielectric and self-supporting properties. The cable consists of six tubes, each with a diameter of 2.5mm, accommodating a total of 48 single-mode fibers (4 tubes with 12 fibers each) compliant with G.657.A2 standards. This cable is suitable for outdoor installations, particularly between poles with a maximum span of 150 meters, and has an initial sag of 1% at 20¬8C. The optical characteristics include a maximum attenuation of 0.40 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.30 dB/km at both 1550 nm and 1625 nm. The cable is designed to withstand a temperature range from -30 ¬8C to +70 ¬8C for operation and -5 ¬8C to +50 ¬8C for installation. Mechanical specifications indicate a minimum bend radius of 244 mm for both installation and operation, with a maximum tensile strength of 2850 N during installation and 950 N during operation. The cable is water-blocked and features a single jacket that is non-armored, with a bulk weight of 99 kg/km. Compliance with various standards, including IEC 60794 and RoHS, ensures its reliability for outdoor applications.
