LTR Loose Tube
Riser Cables
Loose tube, riser rated cable is the solution for continuous cable runs between and within
buildings. These loose tube cables provide the maximum protection for outdoor
installations in ducts, conduits or aerial-lashed. They are also riser rated (UL-1666 OFNR
per NEC 770-51(b) and 770-53(b)) and therefore can be routed to many areas within a
building, eliminating the need for costly demarcation points. This cable saves both
installation time and money by eliminating splice points and the need to inventory two
different cable types.
Loose tube, gel-filled for
outdoors
OFNR riser rated for indoors
Reduces splices and/or
connections by up to 50%
Closet-to-closet installation
Available with up to 216 fibers
Features and Benefits

ORDERING INFORMATION
All BICC General cables, unless customized, follow the industry standard color code system for easy identification. Cables with 12 or
fewer individual components will follow the color sequence: Blue, Orange, Green, Brown, Slate White, Red, Black, Yellow, Violet, Pink,
Aqua.
For cables having more than 12 fibers, grouping is done following the same sequence for the subgroup and for the fibers within it.
Example: 24 fiber loose tube cable with six fibers in each of four tubesTube colors will be blue, orange, green and brown. Each tube will
have one each of fibers in the first six colors (blue, orange, green, brown, slate, white). Fibers are then identified by tube color/fiber
colorblue/white being the white fiber in the blue tube.
When cables have more than 144 fibers, a black stripe is added to each of the first six colors in order to make 18 recognizable
subgroups.
In some cable designs, jacketed subgroups may be numbered for identification in lieu of color coding.
