- Aerial and Buried Installations: Engineered to perform in both aerial and direct-buried environments, ensuring durability in harsh conditions.
- Drop Installations: Effective for short-distance drop cable runs in both residential and commercial installations.
Technical Specifications
- Fiber Types: 250μm G.652.D or G.657.A1 fibers for various applications.
- Fiber Count: Available in Tonable 1-24, with 1F OFNR Cordage at 1, Reduced size at 1-12, Single Jacket / Single Armor at 12 or 24 and Single Jacket / Single Armor with 900µm TB at 2, 4 or 6.
- Operational Temperature Range: -40°C to +70°C, suitable for extreme environmental conditions.
- Tensile Rating: 1.36 kN, ensuring durability and strength during installation and continued performance under mechanical stress.
Performance Benefits
- Performance Standards: Telcordia GR-20 & ICEA S-87-640 for mechanical and environmental compliance.
- Durability: Designed for long-lasting performance in both buried and aerial installations.
- Temperature Resilience: Withstands a wide range of temperatures, making it ideal for various climates.
- Compact Design: Reduces the overall cable diameter, making it easier to install in tight spaces.
Construction Features
- Single-Jacket, Single-Armor Construction: Provides rugged protection against external factors, ensuring the cable’s long-term durability.
- Loose Tube Design: Allows for the housing of multiple fibers, protecting them from environmental hazards and mechanical stress.
