This is an outdoor communication cable with a non-metallic FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic glass) or PE-coated FRP central strength member and non-armoured structure. The optical fibres are housed in loose tubes that are made of high-modulus plastic and filled with water-blocking yarns. These loose tubes are stranded around the central strength member to form a cable core. The core is covered by water-blocking tape to prevent water ingress in the cable. The cable core is surrounded with thermoplastic sheath making the cable robust and installation-friendly.
