ble jackets. Properties and resistance for cables cannot be Information given in this table is based on plastic materials used for ca derived from it. 1) This information is meant as decision guidance to the best of our today's knowledge, it is based on typical values. The resistance of cables has to be verified due to the wide variety of oils and fuels. 2) Depending on the cable design different types of LSFH™ materials are used for the cable jacket. 3) The UV resistance depends highly on the colour of the plastic used, black offers the best resistance. 16 HUBER+SUHNER Fiber Optic Cables

Rules • For cables where each 0.6 or 0.9 mm tube is individually strain relieved (code = J) , the termination diameter is specified. For cables where all tubes have a common strain relief (code = ZN or ZNG) the cable diameter is specified. By individual and common strain relief in the same cable, the termination diameter gets specified. • The fiber colour is only indicated if not standard • All options follow the basic code : basic key - 1st - 2nd - 3rd - 4th - 5th option • The cable code has no spaces • Items not used are left out classes please see under section "Fiber types" Fiber and cable...

Conformity and certificate RoHS conformity The HUBER+SUHNER companies aim to comply with all relevant legal requirements at all time. This also holds true for the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment commonly referred to as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive or RoHS. We are proud to state that we are able to supply components fully compliant with the RoHS directive. This directive restricts the use of six hazardous materials: Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), hexavalent Chromium (Cr...

Test procedures Tensile performance Examines the behaviour of the attenuation and/or the fiber elongation strain as a function of the load on a cable design which may occur during installation (short term load or maximum specified load for the cable) and operation (long term load). This method is intended to be non-destructive. Standards: IEC 60794-1-21 E1 (former IEC 60794-1-2 E1) Crush resistance Examines the ability of an optical fiber cable to withstand crushing (transverse compression load) for long term (operation) and for short term (installation) loads. The load is uniformly applied on...
