Description
2-12F 3.8mm Central Loose Tube cable is a small OD, ADSS type round cable for FTTH project.There are 2-12pcs of fiber unit are positioned in the center of a high – hardness PBT Loose tube. This PBT tube offers very good protection to the fiber. An aramid yarn surrounds the PBT tube. The aramid yarn offers very good tensile performance to the cable. Then, the cable is completed with an LSZH sheath.
