OUTDOOR CABLES

CENTRAL-TUBE UNARMORED CABLE (2-48 F)

Typical Cross section of 48 Fiber

Cable Construction Details

  • Up to 48 enhance low water peak single mode fibers in full compliance with ITU-T-G.652.D (also available with G655 / G656 / G657 SM Fiber and OM1 / OM2 / OM3 & OM4 MM Fiber)
  • Metallic, anti-buckling Steel rod as Strength Member. embedded in outer sheath (also available with non metallic strength member, FRP rod)
  • Loose buffer tube fully filled and Centrally placed in the cable
  • UV Stablized PE outer sheath, black (also available with HFFR / FR PVC)
