Multifibre prime (lt) cable assemblies

Prime LT is a special design platform for Loose Tube multifibre optical cable assemblies. It utilises the patented Prime transition module and guarantees superior tensile strength and crushing resistance. The high density design can scale from 2 up to 144 fibres and can feature both 900µm and ruggedised 2mm tail leads. Assemblies can comprise of both multifibre MTP/MPO and discrete connectors, making the Prime a flexible hybrid solution for diverse applications.
