FTTH Dro Fiber Optics Cable

Application

The cable are intended for operation under conditions normally encountered in the last portion of all-optical networks. Designed to run from the Network Access Point (NAP) to the subscriber premises. Available from 1 to 12 fiber counts,LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen),flame retardant and costomizable to any requested specifications.

Features and Benefits

  • Central Loose Tube: thermoplastic material (PBT), containing optical fibers and filled with a suitable water tightness jelly compound.
  • Peripheral Strength Elements: aramid yarns.
  • Longitudinal water tightness : Water blocking element used for eliminates the need for traditional flooding compound and provides efficient and craft-friendly cable preparation.
  • Ripcord:Nylon thread or Aramid yarn for easily stripping of the sheath." vspace="6">
  • Outer Sheath: (Option)
  • Polyethylene sheath

    LSZH polyethylene sheath: Low Smoke Zero Halogen sheath for Flame retardant characteristics.
