Stranded Loose Tube Air-blown Micro Fiber Optic Cable for FTTH
■ Introduction:
Optical fibres are housed in a loose tube that is made of high-modulus plastic and filled with tube filling compounds.Aramid yarns are placed outside the loose tube as the strength member, then a sheath with grooves is extruded. This type of cable is particularly applicable to air-blowing constructions in access networks.
■ Features:
- Smaller Diameter and light weight.
- Tube filling compound providing key protection for fibres.
- Unique design of sheath with grooves ensuring good air blowing performance.
- Allowing to blow by phases to reduce initial investment.
- High blowing speed up to 50m/min, and long blowing distance up to 1000m.
- Allowing to blow out and replace with new cables to keep technical superiority.
- Allowing to cut micro ducts anywhere anytime for branch without influences on other cables, saving manholes, hand holes and cable joints.
