Description
2-12F 4.0mm Central Loose Tube cable has its optical fiber unit 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 high tensile performance to the cable. Then a ripcord is placed under the LSZH sheath.
Our cable has a small diameter, is water – resistant, soft and bendable. It’s easy to deploy and maintain in FTTH projects. In addition, the non – metallic strength member can provide lightning protection and anti – electromagnetic interference. Round FTTH Drop cables are ideal for indoor cabling, direct end – user cabling, and access networks.
