    Easy-to-Install, Compact Cable Can Protect Your Network in Outside Plant Environments

    Product Description
    he AccuRibbon LXE Cable core consists of ribbons of 12 bers bonded by a UV light-curable matrix material. Up to eighteen ribbons can be contained in the extruded plastic core tube for a total of 216 bers. Positive identication of each ber is provided by color coding the bers within each uniquely identied ribbon. The LXE sheath system achieves a 600-pound (2670 N) tensile rating through the use of linearly applied strength members placed 180 degrees opposite each other. The cable jacket is made of Polyethylene (PE) to provide faster installation (through a lower coefcient of friction) and optimum cable core protection in hostile environments. The small size and light weight make installation easy. In addition, the LXE sheath system passes both the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Association (TIA/EIA) standard cable tests and the more stringent OFS test program.

    Why the AccuRibbon LXE Cable?

    hen reliability counts, you can count on LXE Fiber Optic Cable. The LXE Family of products is designed for the loop distribution market, where express entry (accessing ber in the middle of a cable span) is a common practice. These cables provide excellent optical, mechanical, and environmental performance in compact, reliable designs. Two sheath options are available: Metallic (LXE-ME) and Dielectric (LXE-DE). The construction of the LXE-ME sheath has an overlapped armor layer of 0.15 mm (0.006 in) thick corrugated electrolytic chrome coated steel (ECCS) that envelops the core tube and has a ripcord under it to ease its removal. The steel armor is coated to inhibit corrosion and to bond to the outer jacket. Two steel wire strength members run longitudinally along the armor, diametric to each other. A ripcord is located next to each steel wire for ease of sheath removal. The sheath is completed with a black PE jacket.

    The LXE-DE sheath has two groups of glass strength members that are longitudinally applied, diametric to each other, over the cable core. Two ripcords, nestled along the strength members, are provided to facilitate sheath entry. The sheath is completed with a black PE jacket. Continued on next page

    For each sheath option, cable entry is extremely easy, even in mid-span. The cable core can be accessed with the strength members remaining intact, so cable tensile strength is maintained. In the metallic versions, electrical continuity is also maintained.

    All bers used in AccuRibbon units are color coded to facilitate individual ber identication. The individual ber colors are given in the following table.

    Features and Benefits: Single-mode, Multimode, AllWave , and TrueWave Fibers with D-LUX coating Compact size Rugged, robust design Variety of sheath and core options All bers in central core tube Ideally suited to mass splicing techniques Durable polyethylene sheath High strength to weight ratio Reliable network performance Excellent optical, mechanical, and environmental performance Improved craft productivity (installation and splicing) Simplied ber administration Maximum transmission capacity in a compact design Protection from environmental hazards and installation abuse.

    Value Statement
    With LXE Fiber Optic Cable, your worries about installation abuse and environmental hazards are a thing of the past. With two core options and two sheath options to choose from, you can select a cable conguration that is exactly right for your application. The compact design and high strength-to-weight ratio of the cable make installation easy particularly in limited duct space. Craft productivity is also maximized by the easy access to all bers provided by the central core tube design, and the benets of mass fusion splicing of ber ribbons. In addition to these improved ber administration features, the LXE Fiber Optic Cable provides excellent optical, mechanical, and environmental performance. Count on OFS for solutions that work.
