About this file
This is a product datasheet for fiber optic cable specifications issued by Emtelle Group for use in electrical installations. The document provides technical specifications for the MHT3011 Generic Specification SJSA Dry Loose Tube cable featuring 250-micron single-mode optical fiber elements. The cable is designed for direct burial applications with corrugated steel tape armoring and comes in configurations ranging from 12 to 432 fibers per cable, with 12 or 24 individually colored fibers per loose tube. Cable diameters range from 12.3 mm to 20.5 mm depending on fiber count, with weights ranging from 125 to 350 kg/km. The cable features a robust UV-resistant polyethylene outer jacket and operates across temperature ranges from -40°F to 158°F, making it suitable for demanding outdoor installations such as the Jemez Mountain Fire Protection Project electrical material requirements in New Mexico. All cables are supplied in 13,125-foot lengths on wooden drums, with specific product codes designated for each fiber count configuration.
The cable meets ITU-T G.657A1 optical standards with attenuation measurements of 0.36 dB/km at 1310 nm, 0.23 dB/km at 1550 nm, and 0.26 dB/km at 1625 nm. Mechanical performance includes a maximum tensile load of 2,700 N and a minimum bend radius of 20 times the cable diameter. The product undergoes rigorous testing including crush, impact, repeated bending, torsion, kink, temperature cycling, and water penetration assessments per IEC standards. Cable marking appears at 2-foot intervals on the outer sheath. Product codes range from 78440-EIA-13125FT through 78908-EIA-13125FT, with gross weights on wooden drums varying from 1,268 lbs for 12-fiber configurations to 3,538 lbs for 432-fiber configurations. This datasheet serves as a technical reference guide for procurement and installation specifications related to the electrical materials sub-grant opportunity.
