Draka U-DQ(ZN)BH 24G50 OM2 Universal Fibre Optic Cable, 24 Fibres, 50/125µm, LSZH, Blue, 3.0kN

Universal fibre optic cable featuring 24 multimode OM2 fibres in a loose tube, dry construction, engineered for reliable indoor/outdoor data transmission. Its non-metallic strain relief and LSZH sheath ensure flexibility and safety, while the 3.0 kN tensile strength supports demanding installations.

Advantages

Gel-free design speeds up splicing and reduces cleaning time. The blue LSZH outer sheath is flame-retardant, low-smoke, and halogen-free, making it ideal for public buildings. Aramid yarns provide robust tensile strength without metallic elements, eliminating grounding and lightning concerns. The cable withstands UV exposure, enabling outdoor use without additional protection.

Suitable for

• Backbone cabling in data centres and enterprise networks
• Indoor/outdoor transitions, including direct burial and duct installations
• Environments requiring low smoke and zero halogen emissions
• High-density fibre applications needing 24 fibres in a compact design
