The LMHD-Series OSP Heavy Duty MicroCore® Cable by AFL is engineered for robust underground and aerial applications, ensuring reliability and performance in diverse settings. Its small-diameter construction not only enhances air-jetting efficiency when compared to conventional loose-tube cables, but also allows for a remarkable 600 lb tensile load rating, making it suitable for pulling applications. The cable features a thick-walled outer jacket that can be directly lashed to aerial messenger wires, while a rodent-deterrent option is available, maintaining integrity without increasing the outside diameter. Additionally, with fiber counts ranging from 12 to 432 and a toneable option that includes low-resistance copper wire, this cable can easily be located using standard electromagnetic detectors, addressing critical operational needs with advanced engineering.
